Return code Description
WS_E_NOT_SUPPORTED
 See the Remarks section for platform limitations.
E_INVALIDARG
 One or more arguments are invalid.

Remarks

Windows Server 2003 and before:  On Windows platforms before Windows Vista, this function is not supported for WS_UDP_CHANNEL_BINDING or WS_HTTP_CHANNEL_BINDING if the channel is in the WS_CHANNEL_STATE_ACCEPTING state and the listener has not already been aborted.

(For information on channel bindings and channel states, see the WS_CHANNEL_BINDING and WS_CHANNEL_STATE enumerations.)

This function is also not supported for WS_HTTP_CHANNEL_BINDING with WS_CHANNEL_TYPE_REPLY when aborting a channel in the WS_CHANNEL_STATE_OPEN or WS_CHANNEL_STATE_FAULTED state. (For information on channel types, see the WS_CHANNEL_TYPE enumeration.

WsAbortChannel can be called for a channel in any state, and does not wait for pending I/O to complete before aborting the channel.

If the channel is in the WS_CHANNEL_STATE_OPEN state, WsAbortChannel causes the channel to fault to the WS_CHANNEL_STATE_FAULTED state.

Note  See WsAbandonMessage for information on how to skip a particular message and keep the channel open.

 
If called with valid parameters, this function will not fail for reasons such as a lack of system resources. However, note the limitations on some operating systems versions at the beginning of Remarks.
