Remarks

There are three types or errors:

  • SCHEMA_VALIDATION: Data validation failed as a result of an XML Schema–defined constraint.
  • SYSTEM_GENERATED: Data validation failed as a result of constraints defined in the form definition (.xsf) file or as a result of scripting code calling the ReportError method of the DataDOMEvent object.
  • USER_SPECIFIED: Data validation failed as a result of a custom scripting error using the Add method of the Errors collection.

Security Level 2: Can be accessed only by forms running in the same domain as the currently open form, or by forms that have been granted cross-domain permissions.

Example

In the following example, the Type property of the Error object is used to display the type of an error in a message box:

JScript 
  var objError;

objError = XDocument.Errors(0);
XDocument.UI.Alert("Error name: " + objError.Type);
