Is there an enumeration for system error codes in .Net framework?

I have a library function that returns GetLastError codes (t开发者_StackOverflow中文版hings like these). I need to compare them with specific errors, like ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE. However I don't feel comfortable to define the constants myself. So the question is, is there a predefined enumeration for this purpose?

No, you'll have to make your own.

I published a NuGet package for this:

Install-Package BetterWin32Errors

First add a using for the library:

using BetterWin32Errors;

Then you can use it like this:

if (!SomeWin32ApiCall(...))
{
    var error = Win32Exception.GetLastWin32Error();
    if (error == Win32Error.ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND)
    {
        // ...do something...
    }
    else if (error == Win32Error.ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND)
    {
        // ...do something else...
    }
    else
    {
        throw new Win32Exception(error);
    }
}

See the site for more examples of how to use the library.

You can copy the code from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms681382.aspx added by katmassage to your own class SystemErrorCodes. It contains the codes from 0 to 499. This is a good starter. If someone already has a class containing also all the codes his code would be appreciated.

The Win32Exception class can be used for this.

    /// <summary>
    /// Setting the system Date and Time
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="dateAndTime">The date and time settings</param>
    /// <returns>Operation success</returns>
    public static bool SetSystemTimeAndDate(DateTime dateAndTime)
    {
        var newDateAndTime = new Win32SystemTimeStruct(dateAndTime);

        var ret = Win32ApiStub.SetSystemTime(ref newDateAndTime);
        if(!ret)
            ThrowExceptionForHr(Marshal.GetLastWin32Error());
        return ret;
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// This function checks an error code and throws a nice exception if the code is signifying an error.
    /// Do not confuse this with <see cref="Marshal.ThrowExceptionForHR"/> which gets error information out of the context of the current thread.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="nativeErrorCode">The HRESULT error code</param>
    public static void ThrowExceptionForHr(int nativeErrorCode)
    {
        if (nativeErrorCode != 0)
            throw new Win32Exception(nativeErrorCode);
    }

There is class published at pinvoke. I haven't tried to post the 12.000 lines here.

My answer originally aims the errors described here, but seems like yours are a subset of those.

All the answers here talk about having to do the work manually. I just did that (scraped the aforementioned link and generated an enum class with those values).

But - to my despair - I figured out that you can simply do throw new Win32Exception(errorCode) and you get the matching error message text.

Read about Win32Exception here.
