Can't access Exception property

I am catching an ArgumentException, of which I want a specific property. When I put a breakpoint on the code where the ArgumentException is caught, I see that it has an ErrorMessage property:

But trying to access it gives this result:

What's going on here?

The explanation is that the first screenshot is NOT a stamp of the exceptions internals. An ArgumentException has no "ArgumentException" message. This is absolutely sure.

What is the first screenshot referring to? I really don't know, but it seems some sort of service context, already updated with the relevant information.

What you are probably searching for, btw, is the Message property of the exception.

The problem is that in the first screenshot you display the HttpWebResponse or similar object, while in the second screenshot you are working with the actual exception.

Exceptions have a Message property and not an ErrorMessage. Change the second code to ex.Message and it will work.
