CSS API Error Handling

For the latest version of Commerce Server 2007 Help, see the Microsoft Web site.

Whenever you call a Commerce Server Staging (CSS) method or get or set a CSS property, you might receive a COM exception, that is, an exception of type System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException. You should check the exception object’s e.ErrorCode property for an error code.

Note

CSS makes internal calls to other programming APIs. These include COM, Security/ACL, Registry, Winsock, Service Manager, and Win32. These APIs can return error codes in addition to the given CSS error codes. For CSS error codes, you can use CReplicationServer.TranslateEventCode Method to retrieve the description, severity, and category of the error.

Example

CReplicationServer replicationServer = new CReplicationServer();
replicationServer.Initialize("");
  try
  {
  // Attempt to create a project (Note: Project1 could already exists)
  CReplicationProject project = (CReplicationProject)replicationServer.OpenProject("Project1", CSS_PROJECT_CREATION.CREATE_NEW_PROJECT);
  project.Commit();
  }
  catch (System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException e)
    {
    if (e.ErrorCode == -1073680502) // error code for "project already exists"
      {
      // Print out the description, severity and category of the error object description, severity, category;
        replicationServer.TranslateEventCode(e.ErrorCode, out description, out severity, out category);
        Console.WriteLine("Error description = {0}, serverity = {1}, category = {2}", description, severity, category);
      }
        else
        {
        throw;
        }
    }
}
