A number of exceptions can occur when calling this method. Only a few of the possible errors that can cause exceptions are listed.

You must write code to handle exceptions when you call this method. Exceptions can result from parameter validation errors, name resolutions failures, and network errors. Exceptions from network errors (loss of connectivity, connection failures, and HTTP server failures, for example) can happen at any time. These errors result in exceptions being thrown. If not handled by your app, an exception can cause your entire app to be terminated by the runtime.

An app can use the HRESULT from the exception to learn more detailed information on the error that caused the exception.
