Session lost in customErrors, defaultRedirect

Hi

I'm just testing some web stuff and created a errorpage to display nice messages to all users
My page that raises the error uses Server.GetLates tError to get the error and store in a session variable
My web.config file has a customErrors-tag and uses defaultRedirect to redirect to my errors page

It works fine, the error is caught on my page, session variable is set but on the errorpage the session is empty
Why is a new session created and how can I fix this

If I use Server.Transfer to go to my errorpage (instead of defaultRedirect ), the session is intact

Any suggestions

Thanks
Markus

I am trying to write a global custom error page. I thought I would jot down some of what I've learned so far... At first I just used the default customErrors section with a defaultRedirect tag, as such: <customErrors defaultRedirect="error.aspx" mode="On" /> First thing I found out about this method, is that I didn't have access to the exception object in my error.aspx page. So this page was going to be

I'm trying to set the default behavior of customErrors in the machine.config. The documentation seems to suggest this should work, but it doesn't seem to work for me. On my development machine, I want customErrors off, and on my production machine I want them to go to a friendly error page (so on with a defaultRedirect). No matter what I do, I only get "customErrors off" with setting in machine.config and not web.config. Any thoughts?...

Hi. Is it programatically possible in VB.NET to read the contents of web.config's <customErrorselement? I looked at using ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings, but that doesn't work. I need to read the value of redirect from the error statusCode 404. My web.config looks like this: <customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="Error.aspx"> <error statusCode="404" redirect="Error404.aspx" /> </customErrors>

Hello, Is there any way I can intercept the session timeout exception, and 1) Run some code routine, ie log the error and it's context 2) Show nicer output to the user Please do not suggest to increase the session timeout value, or write a code that doesn't loop. No fools here. There are possible contexts where I want to keep the session timeout reasonably low, but need to log the occasions, when it's hit, to rearchitecture those...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
