Application_Err or event in global.asax.cs

There appear to be several ways to get the global error handler in
global.asax.cs to fire repeatedly in a nasty endless loop. Is there a way
to keep this event from firing only a handful of times over the course of a
minute, so that if it's obviously caught in a vicious loop, it will stop?

In our global error handler, we send an email warning developer's of the
problem. However, if the global error handler fires repeatedly, we get
numerous emails - like 4000+, or as many as can be sent while a browser is
hitting our site.

For example, we are storing our session information in SQL Server, rather
than in IIS. This is configured in web.config. <sessionState
mode="SQLServer "... > One morning the web server couldn't connect to the SQL
Server ASPState database, so a hit on our web site generated 4000+ emails in
several minutes as the client browser window sat open.

Suggestions aside from "don't send an email in your global error handler?"

Thanks in advance.

Mark

Hi there, I have an odd situation. I have exception handling set up in my Application_Error event handler in my global.asax. On my development box, errors get caught by the event handler fine and redirect the user to an error page manually...I know about the defaultRedirect but I'm just not using it. Now when I try to recreate an error on my production box, I get the standard asp.net error page with the big yellow bar accross the top...

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

My code below is supposed to email me when an error occurs on the application, but it's not emailing anything. Am I missing something? I know the smtp servers I've tried work. I even added a App_Start handler to see if I could get emailed at all even from the first request of the app, but to no avail. Could someone please help me out? Thanks a lot! --Thiago Web developer AgniTEK

Greetings group! I've got a weird one. I have an ASP.NET 1.1 application that has been running on a dual-processor Windows 2000/IIS 5 server for a couple of years. Global.asax has an Application_Error() function that writes an entry to the event log. Everything works great. We're migrating to Windows 2003 on a new server, so I built up a virtual PC (MS Virtual Server) Win2k3/IIS6 (single processor) box for testing and everything works...

Hi everyone, I am trying to create a custom error page, that the user gets shown when a error has occurred within my website. The code works perfectly, apart from when an invalid URL is typed in, then i am unable to pass the exception from the global.asax file to the page via the sessionstate. Everytime i try to pass something into the sessionstate i get a error message of 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object.'
