Category: HRESULT

HRESULT is a data type numerical error code used in Windows operating systems, and the earlier IBM/Microsoft OS/2 operating system, to represent error conditions, and warning conditions, and prevent collisions between error codes in different subsystems of the OS/2 operating system at the same time. Various bits within an HRESULT encode information about the nature of the error code. HRESULT error codes are commonly used in COM programming, where they form the basis for a standardized COM error handling convention.
