No, Microsoft, this information was not helpful.

     At least it's more useful than this:




  • The parameter is incorrect! This behavior is by design.



  • 1. It's not useful? I would think that the fact that the document failed to save is actually useful information

    2. Once again, some dumbfuck failed to use GetLastError() properly.

    It's too bad Microsoft didn't include GetSecondToLastError() as well. That's really what the public seems to be demanding.

    Microsoft should troll developers by changing the "The operation completed successfully." message to "The dumbfuck developer called another function before calling GetLastError again."

    I once tried <FONT face="courier new,courier">getAllTehErrors()</FONT> and, after quite a long time, got <FONT face="courier new,courier">OutOfMemoryException</FONT>!

    Now, that is TRWTF, since Exceptions aren't Errors.

    Yeah, but what language are we dealing with? There's plenty of subtle naming differences between Java and C# that can cause confusion in this area. The differences aren't really all that important though; just confusing.

    Obviously a .NET language, as the Java equivalent is an [code]OutOfMemoryError[/code], not an [code]OutOfMemoryException[/code]
