hi all,
i've got a multi-page form that requests a bunch of stuff
and saves the info in viewstate as it goes from page to page.
finally the data is saved to sqlserver and an email is sent
to user.
here's the problem:
the page fails occasinally. the reason i know is that i have
a customerror in web.config. ever time there's a failure the
user is sent to that custom page and that page sends me an email
including the the full url. the aspxerrorpath in most cases
point to this page.
usually i get a bunch of failures within a very short period and
then things are back to normal.
i have try/catch blocks all over the page but i'm not trapping
anything in there.
somehow this page fails and the user is ushered to the custom error
page but the try/catch blocks never get a chance to report anything
back to me. and i've tested them by throwing a deliberate
exception and catching it.
is it possible that asp.net is auto-recycling thereby
messing the viewstate and other things between form posts?
i'm at my wit's end. anyone could suggest what other places to look
at for troubleshooting? using dotnet 1.1 on win2003server.
thanks,
rh
