function TraceWin32Error(){
    var LastError = Interop.GetLastError();
    if(LastError != 0){
        var MsgBuffer = Interop.Allocate(1024);
        Interop.Call("Kernel32", "FormatMessageW", 0x1000, 0, LastError, 0, MsgBuffer, 1024, 0);
        Debug.Trace(MsgBuffer.ReadString(0));
        MsgBuffer.Size = 0; //Release the allocated memory now
    }
}
