Getting the error message of a COM method called from C#

Jul 20, 2017 See the question and my original answer on StackOverflow

You should always do proper error checking in your code. This call:

SetErrorInfo(errorCode, pErrorInfo);

returns E_INVALIDARG because the first argument must be 0 as per official documentation. Replace it by:

SetErrorInfo(0, pErrorInfo);

And it will work.
