errorhandling with response.redirect

[Roel]

Hello

When I have an exception within a try - catch block, I sent the user to my
error page with the following code:
Response.Redirect(@"error.aspx?errmsg=" + ex.Message + "&errsource=" +
ex.Source + "&errstack=" + ex.StackTrace);

The problem is that when there is an \n - sign in the error message or
stacktrace, I get the error "Redirect URI cannot contain newline characters"

Is there anybody who knows how I can transform the "ex.Message" into a
@string or is there another way to solve this problem

Regards
Roel

Roel,

The quick answer is to URL-encode the string using the UrlEncode method of
the Server object. However, this is not a good general solution since the
limitations on query string lengths are likely to cause eventual problems.
A better solution is to not pass the error message via the query string at
all. You might want to try either a server-side redirection or storing the
exception information in a session variable for retrieval on the error page.

HTH,

use Server.Transfer("error.aspx") and in the error.aspx page access the
error as Server.GetLastError()

You could also stuff the error in the Session, then call Server.Transfer and read the error out on the error.aspx page.
