Server.GetLastError() in ASP

**Sathyaish** · Dec 24th, 2003, 12:57 PM

I am just starting out on ASP and was trying to raise an Error and retrieve info about the error by making a call to the GetLastError function of the Server class, but instead what I get is the plain vanilla IE error reporting (see attachment for a picture of what my IE looks like when I run my code). Here's my code:

Code:

<%@ Language=VBScript%>

<HTML>
<%

dim objErr
Dim a

a=5/0
set objErr=Server.GetLastError()

response.write("ASPCode=" & objErr.ASPCode)
response.write("<br />")
response.write("ASPDescription=" & objErr.ASPDescription)
response.write("<br />")
response.write("Category=" & objErr.Category)
response.write("<br />")
response.write("Column=" & objErr.Column)
response.write("<br />")
response.write("Description=" & objErr.Description)
response.write("<br />")
response.write("File=" & objErr.File)
response.write("<br />")
response.write("Line=" & objErr.Line)
response.write("<br />")
response.write("Number=" & objErr.Number)
response.write("<br />")
response.write("Source=" & objErr.Source)

%>

</HTML>

Do I have to configure IIS to trap errors or something? I am using IE5 which I believe implements the ASPError object.
