GetLastError in defaultRedirect page?

[Dave]

Hi

I want to know if it's possible to user Server.GetLastError() in my AppError.aspx below? The GetLastError is not available here and returns null. I'm using Application_Error event to send an email, but I also want to create a custom error page in the AppError.aspx that displays some of the error message. Do I have to preserve the error message in the Application_Error event

<customErrors mode="On" defaultRedirect="AppError.aspx"/>

Thanks, Dave.

Server.getlasterror will be null during that time, you can use
server.lasterror only at Page_OnError to get the exception. So in
Page_onError, get the exception and store in session and then redirect to
your AppError.aspx . From the session get that value and display your custom
error message to the user
