GetErrorText (Dundas Pie Chart Server 1.0)

Dundas

GetErrorText

Overview | Properties | Methods

Outputs a relevant error string based on a returned error code.

Syntax

string = PieChartObject.GetErrorText(ErrorCode As Long)

The GetErrorText method syntax has the following parts:

Part

Description

ErrorCode

An error code which is returned from a function call.

string

An error string which describes the error that occurred.

 
Returns

An error string.

Remarks

All functions with the exception of GetErrorText return an error code (a long) which signifies the success/failure of the operation. Zero (0) is returned if the operation is successful, otherwise a non-zero value is returned. If the return is non-zero you can use GetErrorText to retrieve an error string.

NOTE: The Pie Chart Server control will also throw an exception if an error occurs, so instead of using the GetErrorText method you can examine the thrown exception for a meaningful error message.

When attempting to obtain a meaningful error message you MUST load the page producing the jpeg (i.e. the page with the SendJPEG call) directly into your browser (i.e. do not load this page with an <IMG> tag from another page).
