Hi there:
look at code blow
////////////////////
try
{
blah blah blah
}catch(...)
{
DWORD dw = GetLastError()
}
////////////////////

Does it make sence to call GetLastError() in catch block?
In my opinion, I dont think it's necesary do like above, but could sure
about it.

There is not enough information to say with certainty if the last error
would be meaningful at all. That's because some functions do not clear the
error code in advance and in the case where the function succeeds the value
is stale.

Regards,
Will
