File System Exceptions

All file system exceptions derive directly or indirectly from IException. All of the standard IException behavior will work with these classes.

• IEntityInUse indicates an attempt to move, delete, or otherwise manipulate an entity that is currently in use.
• IEntityInvalid indicates an attempt to perform an operation on a file system entity that does not point to a valid on-disk entity.
• IEntityTypeMismatch indicates an attempt to assign the wrong type of file system entity to another entity subclass.
• IFileOperationCancelled indicates that the user canceled a file system operation.
• IVolumeOffline indicates an attempt to perform an operation on a volume that is off line.
