Pass Exception Message to label on another page

I’m wondering once I catch an exception, how can I use the exception message in another page?
How can I pass this exception message into a label on another page? In order so I can have the exception message displayed with my own material. What is the best way to go about this?

Example:

Try

'logic in here

Catch ex As Exception

ex.Message 'pass this message of the exception so it can be used in a different page

End Try

Create a global variable (ie. errMsg as string).

Then:

Code:

---

Try

Catch
  errMsg=ex.Description
End Try

---

"page" ??? Page or form? ASP.NET or WinForm?

-tg

its an asp.vb page

That's what I thought... thread needs to be moved to the ASP.NET forum where you'll get a better response. I'll ask the mods to move it.

-tg

The try catch is inside a public function so will this method work?

Moved to the ASP.Net forum.

Hey,

Depending on exactly what you are trying to do, and for what reason, you might want to look into something like ELMAH:

https://code.google.com/p/elmah/

Which does the job of collating all your error messages, and logging them for you.

Every unhandled exception will pass and logged through global.asax so you don't really need an extra plug in but if you want more automated control then i guess you can try it (haven't used it).

For what it's worth, ELMAH is very good at what it does :)
