Hi..

I am using AD and SQL Authentication in my site. I am using ASP.NET 2.0+C#.

I have a web page, in which i can create users. While I try to create an user for the first time, I am getting anUnspecified Error. Repeated trials are successfully creating users in the database and AD, I am using the Authentication mode as:SQL_and_AD_Authentication

In my information log, I have the following stack trace:

Hi..

Thank you very much for the reply.. But I couldn't get much help from that.

Thanks

Hi,

In that case, try posting the code which you feel causes the error.

Suprotim.

Hi venkatzeus,

According to MSDN, if the HRESULT is a custom result or if it is unknown to the runtime, the runtime passes a genericCOMException to the client. TheErrorCode property of theCOMException contains the HRESULT value. You can use catch(ComException ex) to catch this type of exception.

Hope it helps.

HI..

I searched in google and found out this:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/232282

It says, it is a Generic COM Error Codes. How to catch these generic COM Error codes and provide more meaningful messages to the end user.

Thanks
