[RESOLVED] Application_Error in global.asax not firing

Hi,

I'm trying to handle all my application exceptions inside the global.asax but from some reason it's not firing at all, i never tried to do it before so i guess i'm doing something wrong here...

here is the code inside the default.aspx page that throw the error:

Code:

---

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            throw new Exception();
        }

---

and here is the code inside the global.asax:

Code:

---

  void Application_Error(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Exception objErr = Server.GetLastError().GetBaseException();
            string err = "Error Caught in Application_Error event\n" +
                    "Error in: " + Request.Url.ToString() +
                    "\nError Message:" + objErr.Message.ToString() +
                    "\nStack Trace:" + objErr.StackTrace.ToString();
            EventLog.WriteEntry("Sample_WebApp", err, EventLogEntryType.Error);
            Server.ClearError();
            Server.Transfer("~/About.aspx");

        }

---

can someone please lead me to the right direction ?

Hey,

I can't think or a reason why that wouldn't be firing.

Are you trying this on a brand new site, or an existing one? Might be worth trying it on a new site, and make sure that it works there first.

In case you haven't seen it, there are full details here:

hay, motil
did you try to add a break point ?

Hi, thanks for the answer! i forgot to update this thread, changing it to this:

Code:

---

void Application_Error(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Exception objErr = Server.GetLastError().GetBaseException();
            [.... my own implementation goes here ...]
            Server.ClearError();
            Server.Transfer("~/About.aspx");

        }

---

and implementing my own code (the original code was example from microsoft website) fixed the problem.

Thanks again for the answers!

Hey,

Glad to hear that you got it working!

Remember to mark thread resolved :)
