How to: Use the SubCode Property to Capture Error Codes

Excel Services generates errors in the SOAP exception based on errors that occur in Excel Services. To make it easier for the developer to catch specific error conditions, an Excel Calculation Services alert has an associated error code. The Excel Web Services then returns the error using properties from the SoapException class.

The following examples show how to capture the error codes using the SubCode property (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.services.protocols.soapexception.subcode.aspx) of the SoapException class.

Note

To be able to use the SubCode property, you must use Microsoft Visual Studio 2005. The SubCode property does not exist in earlier versions of Visual Studio.

For a list of error codes, see Excel Services Error Codes.

To capture error codes when using SOAP

After adding a Web reference to the Excel Web Services, add the following using directive so that you can use the SoapException class without having to qualify it with a full namespace:
```
using System.Web.Services.Protocols;
```
```
Imports System.Web.Services.Protocols
```

To capture the Excel Services error codes using the SubCode property, you must use the SOAP12 protocol version. After instantiating the Excel Web Services proxy class, set the SOAP protocol version as follows:

// Instantiate the Web service. 
 ExcelService xlservice = new ExcelService();

// Set the SOAP protocol version.           
xlservice.SoapVersion = SoapProtocolVersion.Soap12;

' Instantiate the Web service. 
 Dim xlservice As New ExcelService()

' Set the SOAP protocol version.           
xlservice.SoapVersion = SoapProtocolVersion.Soap12

To catch the error codes using the SubCode property, add a SOAP exception catch block to your code, for example:

catch (SoapException e)
{
    Console.WriteLine("SOAP Exception Message: {0}", e.Message);
    Console.WriteLine("SOAP Exception Error Code: {0}", 
        e.SubCode.Code.Name);
}

Catch e As SoapException
    Console.WriteLine("SOAP Exception Message: {0}", e.Message)
    Console.WriteLine("SOAP Exception Error Code: {0}", e.SubCode.Code.Name)
End Try

To capture error codes when using direct linking

In the direct linking scenario, you won't need to add a Web reference to the Excel Web Services. However, you will need to add a reference to System.Web.Services namespace.
After you add a reference, add the following using directive to your code so that you can use the SoapException class without having to qualify it with a full namespace:
```
using System.Web.Services.Protocols;
```
```
Imports System.Web.Services.Protocols
```
Unlike using SOAP over HTTP, in the direct linking scenario, you won't need to set the SOAP protocol version.

To catch the error codes using the SubCode property, add a SOAP exception catch block to your code, for example:

catch (SoapException e)
{
    Console.WriteLine("SOAP Exception Message: {0}", e.Message);
    Console.WriteLine("SOAP Exception Error Code: {0}", 
        e.SubCode.Code.Name);
}

Catch e As SoapException
    Console.WriteLine("SOAP Exception Message: {0}", e.Message)
    Console.WriteLine("SOAP Exception Error Code: {0}", e.SubCode.Code.Name)
End Try

Example

The following program (a console application) uses the SubCode property to capture the error codes. The program takes different actions based on the error code that is caught. You can, for example, intentionally pass in a nonexistent sheet name to trigger a SOAP exception. In this case, the following SOAP exception message is returned:

The sheet that was requested could not be found. Please try a different one.

Robust Programming

Make sure that you add a Web reference to an Excel Web Services site that you have access to. Change the using SubCodeExample; statement to point to the Web service site that you are referencing.

In addition, make changes to the workbook path, sheet name, and so on, as appropriate.
