This is really cool, but why not make it an item template, instead of a project template? If you've already got a project starting from the ASP.NET AJAX project, the download doesn't help much.

But this is cool, thanks!

The gentle message is definitely nicer than the angry one, but if there's truly a fault in the site, I'd like to know about it as a developer, not show it to users. We display something generic like, "An error was encountered and logged, and the operation was canceled -- sorry for the inconvenience. Please contact IT if this causes an urgent problem. Thank you." I get the user id, date/time, stack trace, along with parameter values and other context info, from my database (more accessible than system log).

If you don't want to install the templates, you can look at the individual files. Once you run the vsi file from the archive, on the first screen look for a blue "View files in Windows Explorer" link. This will let you see and modify the individual files.

URL : http://www.codeproject.com/KB/aspnet/%20/ErrorHandlingASPNET.aspx

Note the %20 I deliberately inserted in the URL. I got :

Server Error in '/' Application.

The resource cannot be found.

Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. Please review the following URL and make sure that it is spelled correctly.

Requested URL: /KB/aspnet/ /ErrorHandlingASPNET.aspx

Question : How do I handle such types of errors to display me a friendlier page?

Beautiful posting !

There are issues that may arise, you may trap errors in requests other than pages.

So, if your .NET engine is also handling images (such as the VS's Casini server does), you might be trapping requests even after the containing page was served.

You should use a different pattern in that case, provided Server.Transfer won't work as expected.

Hope this helps :)
