The Error Utility is an ActiveX DLL that includes advanced Error Logging and Tracing functionality. Designed to be easy to configure with logical and standardised presentation of information makes this component an essential tool for both development and distribution environments.
Error Handling and control is important during the development and full release phases of application development. Our Error Handler component is suitable for development purposes and distribution with your applications.
The enhanced functionality and ability to log Errors is extremely useful for debugging projects during Beta testing. The Error log can be opened with Notepad or printed for more detailed analysis, copying or faxing.
The Error Handler component comprises of five public objects.
The ErrorControl object contains properties that store information about the current Error being handled and can be used to keep an in memory copy of all Errors handled by the ErrorHandler object.
The following are public properties of the ErrorControl obect: -
- AppSource Application Title
- Number Error number
- Description Error description
- SourceModule Error Source, Project.Class.Function
- LineNumber Line Number (if applicable)
- CodeSegment Line of code nearest error if available
- DateStamp Date of the error
- TimeStamp Time of the error
- Severity Severity code
Aggregated public objects: -
- ErrorItems Collection of ErrorItem object
- ErrorTrace ErrorTrace object
Everytime an Error is handled by the ErrorHandler, properties that contain information about the Error are set in the object and a copy of that Error is added to the public (aggregated) ErrorItems collection. To access an ErrorItem you will need to use the Item Property of the ErrorItems collection by referencing the ErrorItem's Index.
This ErrorHandler object is public in the Error Utility DLL. This gives developers the flexibility to make use of the powerful Error reporting, logging and debugging of this component.
