IErrorInfo::GetSource

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 MDAC SDK calls IErrorLookup::GetErrorDescription to retrieve the error source.
