Custom error enum in RTD

Hi

I have Rtd server wrapped in Udf exactly as said this series of articles https://www.add-in-express.com/creating-addins-blog/2011/01/12/excel-real-time-date-server/.

I would like to return my own errors from Rtd server back to Udf. I can see errors like ErrDiv0, ErrNA, ErrName available to use.
But I need something of my own enum of errors like this. 


    public enum RtdError
    {

        AuthenticationFailed,
        ApiInvalidRequest,
        ServerError,
        UnknownError,
        NullValue,
        ErrorValue
    }



But they return their enum value, for eg: if I send APiInvalidRequest I get the value 1 in the Udf.
Please suggest the best way to pass my error enums from Rtd to Udf.

Thanks
Kiru

Hello Kiru,

In your scenario, an RTD server may return an object that the UDF would interpret and convert to a value that Excel is able to display, e.g. this string: "Authentication failed".
