Returns the error message and source, based on the return code and the provider-specific error number.
HRESULT GetErrorDescription ( HRESULT hrError, DWORD dwLookupID, DISPPARAMS *pdispparams, LCID lcid, BSTR *pbstrSource, BSTR *pbstrDescription);
Parameters
- hrError
- [in] The code returned by the method that caused the error.
- dwLookupID
- [in] The provider-specific number of the error.
- pdispparams
- [in] The parameters of the error.
- lcid
- [in] The locale ID for which to return the description and source.
- pbstrSource
- [out] A pointer to memory in which to return a pointer to the name of the component that generated the error. If an error occurs, *pbstrSource is set to a null pointer. The memory for this string is allocated by the provider and must be freed by the consumer with a call to SysFreeString.
- pbstrDescription
- [out] A pointer to memory in which to return a pointer to a string that describes the error. If pdispparams was not a null pointer, the error parameters are integrated into this description. If there is no error description or an error occurs, the returned value (*pbstrDescription) is a null pointer. The memory for this string is allocated by the provider and must be freed by the consumer with a call to SysFreeString.
Return Code
- S_OK
- The method succeeded.
- E_FAIL
- A provider-specific error occurred.
- E_INVALIDARG
- pbstrSource or pbstrDescription was a null pointer.
- E_OUTOFMEMORY
- The provider was unable to allocate sufficient memory in which to return the error source or description.
- DB_E_BADHRESULT
- hrError was invalid.
- DB_E_BADLOOKUPID
- dwLookupID was invalid.
- DB_E_NOLOCALE
- The locale ID specified in lcid was not supported by the provider.
