Recreate Exception on client side

Question

I have the exact same problem as in Recreate an exception that is serialized in a JSON response, but I have managed to instantiate the correct type of exception:

public class ServiceExceptionData
{
    public string Type { get; set; }
    public string Message { get; set; }
    public string ErrorCode { get; set; }
    public string StackTrace { get; set; }
}
...
private static void handleServiceException(ServiceExceptionData serviceException)
{
   // get exception type
   Type t = Type.GetType(serviceException.Type);

   // create exception instance
   var exceptionInstance = Activator.CreateInstance(t);

   // set exception read-only properties: Message, StackTrace
   ???

I tried a lot of things to set those properties, here are some of them:

• Can I change a private readonly field in C# using reflection?
• Changing read only properties with reflection
• Set object property using reflection
• Is it possible to get a property's private setter through reflection?
• Is any simple way to create method and set its body dynamically in C#?

but it doesn't work.

The Exception's properties are defined as:

public virtual string Message { get; }
public virtual string StackTrace { get; }

So is there any way to set them once I have the exception instance (e.g. by getting the property's field and using SetValueDirect) or should I give up and create a derived class and override the properties to give them public setters?
