Returns the name of the component that generated the error, such as "ODBC driver-name."
HRESULT GetSource (
BSTR * pbstrSource);
Parameters
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.
Return Code
S_OK
The method succeeded.
E_INVALIDARG
pbstrSource was a null pointer.
E_OUTOFMEMORY
The provider was unable to allocate sufficient memory in which to return the component name.
DB_E_NOLOCALE
The locale ID specified by the lcid parameter in IErrorRecords::GetErrorInfo was not supported by the provider.
Comments
The implementation of this method shipped with the OLE DB SDK calls IErrorLookup::GetErrorDescription to retrieve the error source.
