Janne,

We tried the same appraoch by creating a HTTPmodule hooking to Error event and registered the same as a first module in MOSS web.config.But it did not work for us !

Do you have any idea that what may be the cause of the issue ?

Regards,

Ram

Hi Ram!

Are you able to debug your code? I mean that if you attach your VS to the w3wp.exe process you're able to step through the lines of you handler?

Thank f for that. 1st person suggesting a solution. My inferior but workable solution was to remove the error.aspx page from the layouts folder - the application_error event then fires in global.asax and I was able to handle it there.

Just wondering, can something similar be done for unauthorised access errors?

I created the httpmodule and added the tag in Web.config.

Attaching debugger and putting a breakpoint doesnt works.

Looking forward for any help.

what can you do if you limit a survey to only one response and the user gets an error page instead of a friendly "sorry, you cannot take the survey more than once." and then return them to the home page.

Neat! I like that.

One question though - what if I just want to use the HTTPModule to change the master page my error master page uses, rather than the simple.master it normally uses? I don't seem to be able to do that.

Or, come to that, of redirecting the error pages for a single site/url? Hmm. Tricky.

m3rd, I suppose you could use what Janne has built above, but look at the error and if it is the survey exception, cancel the error and redirect to your own page with that message.

Nice and Elegant....

I was using before this approach which i think is worse than the one proposed by Janne

AppDomain.CurrentDomain.UnhandledException += new UnhandledExceptionEventHandler ( OnUnhandledException );

private void OnUnhandledException ( object sender, UnhandledExceptionEventArgs e )

{

Logger.Log ( e.ExceptionObject.ToString ( ), CATEGORY_UNHANDLED_EXCEPTIONS );

}

I'm having trouble implementing this. I'm using it in conjunction with stsdev. The error never gets attached. Am I missing something? Any ideas/tips to get started?

This was a nice insight into Error Handling in SharePoint and very useful. I've implemented more-or-less your design with a few additional logical paths to decide how to handle errors based on the web.config file settings. We also had a requirement to log any exceptions so we opted for the EventLog (which needed to be called by an elevated method call using SPSecurity) which again works perfectly.

We've had a couple of Publishing-based projects recently that have certainly benefited from this so many thanks again. ;)

Hi, I have check this approach and it works fine for me. My custom page uses simple.master (just like error.aspx). I just need to ask if there would be any way to replace simple.master with my custom.master page.

Hi,

I am able to create my on Custom Error Page with this approach, but some time it is throwing error in HTTPModule on Server.Transfer Statement. The error description is ""Error executing child request for ___.aspx". Can any body tell me regarding that. What workaround do i have to do for that. Note down that I implement this for my Custom Sharepoint (MOSS) Site.

To fix Given assembly or code base name is invalid error,

Go to SharePoint site Web.Config file

Add the newly created modules like below

please make sure that replace classname,namespace and token value according to your project
