GetLastWin32Err or exposes the Win32 GetLastError API method from
Kernel32.DLL. This method exists because it is not safe to make a direct
platform invoke call to GetLastError to obtain this information. If you want
to access this error code, you must call GetLastWin32Err or rather than
writing your own platform invoke definition for GetLastError and calling it.
The common language runtime can make internal calls to APIs that overwrite
the operating system maintained GetLastError.
You can only use this method to obtain error codes if you apply the
System.Runtime. InteropServices .DllImportAttri bute to the method signature
and set the SetLastError field to true. The process for this varies
depending upon the source language used: C# and C++ are false by default,
but the Declare statement in Visual Basic is true. For additional
information about the GetLastError and SetLastError Win32 API methods, see
the MSDN Library.
What does the last paragraph mean?
Especially the "...only... if you apply the ..." part
What Declare are they taking about?
I'd like to messagebox only if there is an error.
How can I test for success/failure?
Thanks a lot 10 2166

I think I've got it.
Since I'm using Declares I need not do it.
But if I do a DllImport in C# I must do it if I want to use
GetLastWin32Err or after calling that sub.
Right?
But what about sending to a messagebox only if there is an error.
How can I test for success/failure?
Is not zero always an error and zero return success?
As always, thanks for the help!

What Declare are they taking about?
Declare Sub bla Lib "kernel32.d ll" ()
The paragraph says that calling GetLastWin32Err or only makse sense if the
API function called is declared using the DllImportAttrib ute while
specifying SetLastError=Tr ue. It depends on the language how this can be
done. In VB, you have two ways to declare an external function:
- Using the DllImport attribute
- Using the Declare statement (as shown above)
It says that, using the Declare statment, the SetLastError field is set to
True by default, so you don't have to (or can't) explicitly set it to true.
I'd like to messagebox only if there is an error.
How can I test for success/failure?
If you used the Declare statement for declaring the function called, simply
call GetLastWin32Err or afterwards. Nothing else has to be done.
If you used the DllImportAtribt e for declaring the function, you must set
SetLastError = True in the declaration:
<DllImportAttri bute("kernel32. dll", setlasterror:=T rue)_
Shared Sub bla()
End Sub

>The functions themselves return success or failure.
I was thinking that if I called GetLastWin32Err or when there was no error
the return might indicate that fact.
thanks

I was trying to turn the "SetLastErr or field to true" into a statement about
GetLastWin32Err or. Not too bright!
How about your example above.
"kernel32.d ll" is just an example?
GetLastWin32Err or applies to other dll's, right?
Thanks
So it's not VB vs c#, it's vb's Declare vs vb or C# DllImportAttrib ute
thanks

I have used Python for a couple of projects last year and I found it
extremely useful. I could write two middle size projects in 2-3 months

I am now appearing for Job Interviews these days and I am wondering if
anybody of you appeared for a Python Interview. Can you please share
the questions you were asked. That will be great help to me.
