# MessageFormatException Class

This exception will be thrown when a JMS client attempts to use a data type not supported by a message or attempts to read data in a message as the wrong type. It is also thrown when equivalent type errors are made with message property values. For example, this exception will be thrown if `IStreamMessage.WriteObject` is given an unsupported class or if `IStreamMessage.ReadShort` is used to read a `boolean` value. Note that the special case of a failure caused by an attempt to read improperly formatted `String` data as numeric values throw a `System.FormatException`.
