Unhandled exception when using tilde(~) in URL filenames

Hi All,
I have a ASP.NET 1.1 web application with default error page
specified in customerror tag in web.config along with error handling code in
Application error event in global.asax file.
Now if a page(.aspx) that does not exist in the application is mentioned in
url ,the application redirects to the custom error page mentioned in
customerror tag.
But when a aspx whether it is existing or non existing is called with a
tilde as prefix , the application throws an unhandled error.This error is not
at all handled by Application error event .
I did lot of googling and found out that this is a kind of known bug in
ASP.NET and MS is aware of it.
My question is : Is this a really a known bug in ASP.NET ?
Also is there a good work around to bypass/handle this tilde sceanrio ?

Regards,
Amish

I have a Windows service that requests web pages from a site using an HttpWebRequest object. When I try to request a page from an ASP.NET 2 site, I get a WebException with message "The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error." I found a post that suggested to catch the WebException to retrieve the actual HttpWebResponse object for more information. The response returned is shown below. At first I thought this was a...

I recently wrote my first Vb.net application, or at least my first complex app since moving up from vb6. When run from the VS.NET IDE, the program shows no errors and runs fine. When the output exe is run(this is a windows application) on my development pc, the exe runs fine as well. When the application is deployed on any other machine with .net framework 1.1, it generates an unhandled exception prioir to loading anything. The setup project...

When you have an unhandled exception in vb.net how do you view the exception information in the debugger? In C# the debugger creates a local variable that points to the exception and you can view it in one of the windows (autos or locals, don't remember which). That doesn't appear to be the case with vb.net. I also tried using the command window to inspect "Err" but that gave nothing useful (always empty).

Hi, I feel like a noob for asking this. When I publish a VB windows application, I want to disable the ability of the the user to continue when there is an unhandled exception. For example, if there is a bug in the program that causes an exception, I want the program to crash. If there is an unhandled exception the program is in an undefined state, and continuing could be dangerous. I'm surprised the

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
