Error Handling

[A.M]

Hi,

I have this code in my web.config:

<customErrors mode="On" defaultRedirect="~/ErrorPages/ErrorApp.aspx">
<error statusCode="400" redirect="~/ErrorPages/Error.aspx" />
<error statusCode="401" redirect="~/ErrorPages/Error.aspx" />
<error statusCode="403" redirect="~/ErrorPages/Error.aspx" />
<error statusCode="404" redirect="~/ErrorPages/Error.aspx" />
<error statusCode="408" redirect="~/ErrorPages/Error.aspx" />
<error statusCode="500" redirect="~/ErrorPages/Error.aspx" />
<error statusCode="503" redirect="~/ErrorPages/Error.aspx" />
</customErrors>

Is there any way that inside Error.aspx code I can find what was the actual
error number?

Thanks,
Al

The customErrors mode results in a redirect (round trip) when an error
occurs, and since the client comes back with a new request for the
error page, the error information will be lost.

My suggestion is to implement a global error handler in the
Application_Error event handler in global.asax. From here you can
redirect or Server.Transfer to another page after you have collected
the exception information.

Hi Al,

I'm viewing this thread and found that there is another duplicated one in
this queue. A community member has provided a good solution that using the
querystring param to provide the Error code info. Also I've provided some
of my suggestions there. I'd appreciate if you'd have a look. Also, if you
feel it convenient that we continue to discuss in that thread, please feel
free to follwoup there. Thanks.
