A list of common HRESULT error codes

  • Article

I was looking for error code –2146232797 (hex 0x80131623, which turned out to be what is thrown by Environment.FailFast) and I’ve stumbled upon this treasure:

Also, here’s a great blog about deciphering an HRESULT:

And here's another good list from MSDN:

    Not long after the last post, but I found a bit of a more comprehensive list of them on MSDN, here: msdn.microsoft.com/.../cc704587.aspx There's easily over 200 of them, and probably somewhere in the range of 500-1000.  The nice part is they all have a brief description to go along with the code's name and hex value.
