This method is a helper function that you employ in the same way as the Win32 API SetErrorInfo function. The IVsUIShell.SetErrorInfo method adds three parameters to the original function. The last two parameters, dwHelpKeyword and pszSource, accommodate context-sensitive help and language dependencies. The other additional parameter, dwreserved, is reserved.
The IVsUIShell.SetErrorInfo method is typically called within VSPackage objects that handle commands. However, you can use it in any VSPackage if you elect to use a similar error handling strategy.
