How do I catch unhandled exceptions

Alan Silver

Hello,

One of my web sites seems to throw the occasional exception in a place
where I don't expect it. I know I should expect them anywhere, but just
supposing I've missed one, is there a way of having some sort of global
catch-all that will allow me to log the error and present the user with
some friendly message?

TIA

The Global.asax has an event called Applictions.OnError, you retreive
the last exception by using Server.GetLastError and log that exception
in this event.

OK, I looked into this a bit more, and it seems I can't really get much
interesting information, such as what page generated the error and what
it was doing. The stack trace is very generic and doesn't really help me
at all.

Is there any way to get more info in this event? Even knowing which page
was being executed would be a start, but ideally I would like more than
that. TIA

Oh. On the Exception object look at the InnerException and print the
stack trace for that. It will give detailed information. I forgot to
mention this.

Thanks, I'll see if that is any more enlightening ;-)
