Handling errors and not redirecting to a custom error page

[Jorge Matos]

I think the answer is no, but I wanted to ask to be sure. Is it possible to
handle an exception in Page_Error or Application_Error and not redirect to a
custom error page? In other words I want the user to stay on the web page
and have the exception message shown on the page instead of redirecting to
another web page, the reason for this is that I don't want the user to lose
any information they might have typed into any controls on the page.

Application_Error, is too late to redirect them anywhere. You would have to
have some setting in web.config to do this.

Page_Error, you can do whatever you want, including displaying an error
mesage to the user on the current page.

Hello Jorge,

You can handle Page_Error and do what you need to... Just remember to do
Server.ClearError() so that you dont continue bubbling your error up...
