COM Error Hell...

RodrigoR_ — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 21:57:26 GMT

Hello, I am working with an engine not long ago.

I´m really tired of getting Com errors like "HResult: 0x80040e14" or similar.

Is there any way to get more descriptive message???
How are you doing to decipher the meaning of the error????

Thanks in advance...

Visual Studio includes the errlook.exe utility. The problem with looking up errors is that if the error is specific to a certain module/DLL then you have tell the utility this for it to be able to find the error message.

Your other alternative is to simply Google the error number.

Hi rlwatson, thanks for your answer... i´m going to study the errlook.exe utility, or mabye, you can give me a little more help.

For example, now i´m getting the next Error, {"Excepción de HRESULT: 0x80041538"}.
The error happens when i try to create a geodatabase using dataServerManagerAdmin.CreateGeodatabase

I really can get any help with this message.

My code:

              IDataServerManager dataServerManager = new DataServerManagerClass();
                dataServerManager.ServerName = "IP\\Instance;
                dataServerManager.Connect();

IDataServerManagerAdmin dataServerManagerAdmin = (IDataServerManagerAdmin) dataServerManager;
                if (dataServerManagerAdmin.IsConnectedUserAdministrator)
                {
                  &nsbp;  &nbsp dataServerManagerAdmin.CreateGeodatabase("LandUse", "c:\\LandUse.mdf",
                      0, "", 0);
............
...........

Here's a link to a tool you may find useful:

http://resources.esri.com/arcgisengine/dotnet/index.cfm?fa=codeGalleryDetails&scriptID=16621

By default, it's configured to check only low-level libraries (System, Geometry, Geodatabase, etc) for error codes. When working with specific higher-level libraries, the XML configuration file should be modified accordingly, but it looks like your errors are GDB-related - your last error code corresponds with sdeError.SDE_E_SE_NO_ARCSDE_LICENSE.

Cheers,
James

Thanks James, i´m using your utility right now.

Anyway the message is not right, as i understand, it means that i dont have the right licence to create geodatabases, but i can create gdb in others remotes geodatabases (same code in same machine, changing the ip of the remote gdb)

I don´t know how to mark your answear in this new forum 😞
