  • Article

The IUpdateHistoryEntry::Description (opnum 14) method retrieves the description of the update for which the operation is performed.

 HRESULT Description(
   [out, retval] BSTR* retval
 );

retval: The localized description of the update for which the operation is performed. The description SHOULD be in the language of the user who initiated the operation but MAY be in the language of the current calling user. If there is no description of the update, the retval MUST be set either to NULL or to the empty string.

Return Values: The method MUST return information in an HRESULT data structure. The severity bit in the structure identifies the following conditions:

  • If the severity bit is set to 0, the method completed successfully.

  • If the severity bit is set to 1, the method failed and encountered a fatal error.

Exceptions Thrown: No exceptions are thrown beyond those thrown by the underlying RPC protocol [MS-RPCE].

This method SHOULD return the result of the Description ADM element.
