Get error code from Google AdSense API calls Samples and examples

Google AdSense APIs allow AdSense members to programmatically interact with AdSense accounts. However, when there is any exception in any AdSense API calls, it throws an Exception and the error code published by Google is wrapped somewhere deep inside the SOAP Exception. The following code snippet shows how to parse the SoapException class and retrieve the Google error code from it.

This function accepts the exception raised by Google AdSense API calls and returns the error code from the SoapException. If there is no valid error code, then it returns -1.


    Public Shared Function GetErrorCode(ByVal ex As Exception) As Short
        Dim errorCode As Short = -1

        If (ex.GetType().FullName = "System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException") Then
            Dim sx As System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException = ex

            If (Not sx.Detail Is Nothing AndAlso Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(sx.Detail.InnerXml)) Then
                Dim message As String = sx.Detail.InnerXml

                message = "" + message + "" ' The XML message in the exception is not a valid XML. It does not have a ROOT node.

                Dim doc As New Xml.XmlDocument
                doc.LoadXml(message)

                If (doc.GetElementsByTagName("ns1:code").Count > 0 AndAlso Not doc.GetElementsByTagName("ns1:code")(0).FirstChild Is Nothing) Then
                    Short.TryParse(doc.GetElementsByTagName("ns1:code")(0).FirstChild.Value, errorCode)
                End If
            End If
        End If

        Return errorCode
    End Function
