RasGetErrorString
The RasGetErrorString function obtains an error message string for a specified RAS error value.
DWORD RasGetErrorString (
UINT uErrorValue,
| // error to get string for
| LPTSTR lpszErrorString,
| // buffer to hold error string
| DWORD cBufSize
| // size, in characters, of buffer
| );
|
|
Parameters
uErrorValue
Specifies the error value of interest. These are values returned by one of the
RAS functions: those listed in the RAS header file.
lpszErrorString
Points to a buffer that the function will write the error string to. This
parameter must not be NULL.
cBufSize
Specifies the size, in characters, of the buffer pointed to by lpszErrorString.
Return Values
If the function succeeds, the return value is zero.
If the function fails, the return value is a nonzero error value. This value
is ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER or the GetLastError value returned from the functions GlobalAlloc or LoadString. The function does not set a thread's last error information; that is, there
is no GetLastError information set by the RasGetErrorString function.
Remarks
There is no way to determine in advance the exact size in characters of an
error message, and thus the size of buffer required. Error messages will generally
be 80 characters or fewer in size; a buffer size of 256 characters will always
be adequate. A buffer of insufficient size causes the RasGetErrorString function to fail, returning ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER. Note that buffer sizes
are specified in characters, not bytes; thus, the Unicode version of RasGetErrorString requires a 512 byte buffer to guarantee that every error message will fit.

Nostalgia .Net |
|
.Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes. More » |
