Here is a basic example of a custom exception that can have the message property assigned to.

public class PresentationException : Exception, ISerializable
	{
		public override string Message
		{
			get
			{
				return _message;
			}
		}
		private string _message;

		public PresentationException()
		{

		}
		public PresentationException(string message)
		{
			_message = message;
		}
		public PresentationException(string message, Exception inner)
		{
			_message = message;
		}

		// This constructor is needed for serialization.
		protected PresentationException(SerializationInfo info, StreamingContext context)
		{
		}
	}
