Success/Failure Return
Values
.NET and Visual C++ methods that return
status information will return true for success, and false for failure.
ActiveX methods that return status
information will return 1 for success, and 0 for
failure.
Retrieving Error
Information
When a method fails, extended error
information can be retrieved as XML, HTML, or plain-text. The LastErrorHtml, LastErrorText, and LastErrorXml properties contain this information. These properties should be examined
when a failure status is returned. The last error information can also
be saved to an XML formatted file by calling SaveLastError.
Important: The last error properties and
methods have changed names since the previous component versions so that
all components (C++, .NET, and ActiveX) now present an identical
last-error API.
30-Day Trial
You no longer need to register online to
get a 30-day trial registration code. It is still required to call the
UnlockComponent method at the beginning of your program, but any string
can be passed to begin the 30-day trial. (There is no UnlockComponent
method in free components such as XML or FTP.)
ActiveX Exceptions
The Chilkat ActiveX components no longer
raise exceptions. If a method fails, it returns a 0 to indicate failure.
Programs may need to be modified to check for return statuses rather
than catching exceptions.
Windows 95/98/Me/NT4
