[RESOLVED] Application_Error in global.asax not firing

[motil]

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:

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

and here is the code inside the global.asax:

   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:

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

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!
