The Global object maintains information that is global to the MPX and not associated with any specific object. The Global object maintains two categories of information: Version and Error Information.

The Version Information can be used to verify that different software components will work together. Version information is also required information when reporting bugs.

The Error Information available in the Global object is the last MPX exception that occurred in the current thread (LastException) and an assertion event handler (AssertionEvent). LastException is useful where .NET exceptions are translated into a single error code and the detailed exception information is lost. AssertionEvent allows an application to log any MPX library assertions that have failed.
