we are trying to standardize return codes across our .NET
applications (that are soon to be developed.) What is the
best practice for standardizing return codes? I know of
only the following option.
Creating a class library that will contain the return
codes (which will be static strings). Calling the return
codes from this library across different applications.
Please let me know if you have implemented return codes in
a better fashion in your applications. your feedback is
appreciated. Thanks.

If you want standardization across all classes, you should consider
enums instead of static strings.
I've seen many .NET solutions which contain a project called "Common"
(or something similar), with, among other things, a .cs file just for
listing out all the enums the application uses.

Hello
If your return codes indicate errors, it is better to use exceptions than
return an error code.
Otherwise, as another poster already wrote, enums are very good option for
return codes.

It is also possible to embed the enum in a user defined structure and
return the structure, which can contain useful information about the
return state. http://www.geocities.com/jeff_louie/OOP/oop11.htm

I keep trying to get myself out of the return-code mindset, but it
doesn't seem to work. They are suppose to get rid of if-then statements
of return codes, but you still have to do an if statement once the code
leaves your control (3rd party libraries, OS functions, etc) to throw
an exception?
Does anyone have any good suggestions on a book or website that deals
with exception handling that could help turn this poor mind off of

As far as I can tell, the standard has defined three portable return
codes from function main() (0, EXIT_SUCCESS, EXIT_FAILURE). Personally,
on all platforms I have worked with, EXIT_SUCCESS is, "#define
EXIT_SUCCESS 0" and EXIT_FAILURE is, "#define EXIT_FAILURE 1". I have,
however, been told that a few platforms define the two in reverse
(#define EXIT_SUCCESS 1 and #define EXIT_FAILURE 0). If this is true, I
would expect that it would...

Hi,
i would like to check for a given query (insert, update, delete) if
there is a key or constraint violation which prevents the query from
being executed.
Is such a feature implemented in the perl or java drivers?
If so, could anyone point to a list of available return codes?
Thanks

Where do I find return codes for MS methods. For instance the
filesystemobject methods. I need to know what methods return (error codes,
etc. and what they mean). I have searched MSDN and of course find the
method syntax documents but the return codes are not present. What a method
returns should be documented in the syntax document.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I have all of my data operations in a separate library, so I'm looking for
what might be termed "best practices" on a return type from those classes.
For example, let's say I send an update from the UI layer to a method in a
library class that calls the stored procedure. Best to return a boolean
indicating success/failure, return a string with the exception message, or
just return the entire exception?

Hallo everyone,
I have a perl script which can return error codes. I have done this with, for example, 'exit 11;', which would (I imagine) send the exit code 11 (instead of 0) back to the calling program.
I would now like to check that my error codes are being returned correctly and so wanted to write a short script to test this. Here I considered using the following ...
$checkexitcode = system ("perl myscript.pl");

I am trying to adopt a model for calling functions and checking their return

Here's the approach I'm currently looking at. I throw exceptions only from

functions return a signed integer. The values are all stored in one large

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
