I put some global error handling in place, but am having problems testing it by causing unhandled exceptions.
Here's all I can think of at the moment. feel free to add to this list with more ways to trip unhanndled exceptions.
1) Dangerous form data - Entering characters such as < and > in a text box and trying to submit
2) Put invalid values in a URL parameter - eg if you page is www.test.com/home?testid=XXX where XXX is the form number/identity # you are trying to pull up, put a number that doesn't exist in the URL and hit enter.
I'm sure I could change some stored procedures or otherwise mess with my data access components but I'd rather not have to change any code anywhere...I want to be able to generate these exceptions on the front end, like a user would.
How can we prevent page crash in asp.net? Is there any generic function or place like global.asax where we specify a file to redirect to when an unhanded exception occurs? (like we redirect to a specified page when 404 page not found exception occurs?
I'm working with a third party vendor at the moment who has supplied an ASP.Net web application. The web app generates around 200 unhandled exceptions per day, which end up as emails in my in-box. Upon investigation it turns out that most of these errors are triggered by the GoogleBot web crawler indexing the site and triggering access to another third party web service, which is rate-limiting the requests. When a request limit is exceeded, the third party web service refuses the request, this results in an unhandled exception in the web server and an HTTP/500 status code. The exception looks like this:
[code]....
The web app developer seems unwilling to handle these errors for reasons I don't really understand. Their approach is to throttle the GoogleBot until the errors stop happening (Google indexes quite aggressivley, generating around 5,000 hits per day). While I accept that throttling the GoogleBot would work, it seems like a cop-out to me. I've always considered unhandled exceptions to be bugs. Shouldn't the web app handle these errors? It is ever acceptable to allow an HTTP/500 to happen? What do the web developers out there think?
I once saw that was possible to do something like adding a key in the web.config file to redirect to a default error page everytime a unhandled exception is found.
I didn't want to post anything before i search and upgrade to the latest ajax3.5I copied the zip extracted it in a location and then on vs2008 i added a toolbox and i imported the jaxcontroltoolkit.dll(the very first on the folder).
I got the controls and all is fine until then.
The problem (i previous had with the beta version) stayed.
I did not handle an exception and vs prompted me for the location of accordioncontrol.cs (i don't clearly remember the control), saying there is no source code and i should provide one.I clicked cancel (there is clearly no accordion .cs control on the zip) and the program got the exception on the web page.Ok.
Now everytime i put a breakpoint on the page and it reaches the last end sub it prompts me this "There is no source code available for the current location."I can hit F5 and pass this, however if i hit F11(next statement) it prompts me for the location of the picture i include here. I remember finding the cs somewhere for the beta and included it and it prompted me for wrong version or something on the unhandled exceptions so i have forgotten the error (because i usually handle all my exceptions so i didn't have any for a while).
Server Application Unavailable The web application you are attempting to access on this web server is currently unavailable. hit the "Refresh" button in your web browser to retry your request.
Administrator Note: An error message detailing the cause of this specific request failure can be found in the application event log of the web server. review this log entry to discover what caused this error to occur.
However there is no error in the application event logs. So I am wondering if there's a specific setting in IIS or for the virtual site that enables logging?
Changing the customerror setting in the web.config seems to have no effect. I don't think it's even getting that far. IIS 6, Windows Server 2003
I'm building the standard 3-tier ASP.NET web application but I'm struggling as to where to do certain things - specifically handling exceptions.
I've tried to have a look around on the web for some examples but can't find any which go as far as a whole project showing how everything links together.
In my data-tier I'm connecting to SQL Server and doing some stuff. I know I need to catch exceptions that could be raised as a result but I'm not sure where to do it.
From what I've read I should be doing it in the UI tier but in that case I'm not sure how to ensure that the connection to the database is closed. Is anyone able to clarify how to do this? Also if anyone knows as to where I could find an example 3-tier web application that follows best practices that would be great too.
We have a asp.net application and want to implement logging. The first idea was to use the Application_Error method in the global.asax file.
The problem is that ASP.NET very often seem to throw exceptions internally that are not caused by the application and which seem not to interfer with the users normal workflow. For example we often get HTTPExceptions, UnauthorizedAccessExceptions and others caught in this method, although there is no real error in the application.
Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit Visual Studio 2008 Team System Using C# SQL Server 2005 Express Management Studio (Service Pack 3) By using Visual Studio 2008,I opened Server Explorer and tried to modify Database connection,i wanted to use SQL Authentication,I entered User name and Passwored after pressing OK button,i got the following... Error message Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server.Only an integerated connection can generate a user instance.The connection will be closed.
How should I log exceptions? I never tried logging in .NET before. Nor try to dump exceptions to a txt (or binary) file. I dont require a text file, just a way to view the logs with the file and line #.
I have a set of WCF services which I have been using with an ASP.NET MVC application so far. These service operations return a FaultException when the server has identified problem with what the client has submitted. For example:
[code]...
However with Silverlight this all fails. The server returns a 500 status code with the faultexception (as expected) but to Silverlight this just looks like a duff response.
The following MS article indicates a (ugly) work around for this: [URL] This workaround makes the service transmit 200 status codes, even if there is a FaultException, so that the Silverlight client can get them. But this will mess up 'normal' clients of my service (my ASP.NET application, other users in the wild).
However, the point of services is to have seperation from your clients. I still want my services to return 500 status codes so that my ASP.NET application can detect the FaultExceptions and handle them. But I also want Silverlight to be able to handle them too.
The code works, but I need to include some exceptions to the replace - e.g. I will not replace anything i an img-, li- and a-tag (including link-text and attributes like href and title) but still allow replacements in p-, td- and div-tags.
I need to handle 404 exceptions differently than all other types of them. What is the best way to identify those 404 exceptions (distinguish them from other exceptions)?
The problem is that there is no a special exception class for 404 errors, I get regular System.Web.HttpException with Message = "File does not exist."
Should I just use exception's message for it or is there a better way?
I have a datasource that uses a business logic object for the select event. How can I catch an exception that occurs in the business logic layer and pass it to my presentation layer to display to the user in a label?
There used to be an article at ELMAHs docs site that contained this information, but it seems to have been removed. I think it's as simple as setting a configuration setting in the section, but I haven't a clue what it isCan anyone take a few seconds and drop the configuration setting here?
"I DONOT WANT TO use the default error page tachnique, because i donot want the webpage to redirect!"
yes there is the try and catch
yes there are way to add exception handling mathods overwrite for controls
but what i need is,
it may just be a simple sql command,it may be a control such as formview, it may be a control such as datagrid, whatever it may be, when an illegal entry is done into the table of the database,
"THE BIG ERROR PAGE SHOULD NOT COME!!"
instead
a label at the top of the same page (where the illegal operation is performed) should display the error like
"error caused by "this control" and the error message is "null is not allowed in this field blah blah"
I spawn a thread on Application_Start and would like to log exceptions. There is not Context/HttpContext/HttpContext.Current, so how might i get it to log?ATM it does not catch any exception in my threads and if i write ErrorSignal.FromCurrentContext().Raise(ex); i get an error about context cannot be null.Maybe i can create a dummy HttpContext but somehow i dont think that will work well.-edit- i tried ErrorSignal.Get(new HttpApplication()).Raise(ex); and it doesnt seem to pick up that exception.
If you wrap a call to HttpResponse.End within a try catch block, the ThreadAbortException would automatically be re-raised. I assume this is the case even if you wrap the try catch block in a try catch block.How can I accomplish the same thing? I do not have a real-world application for this.
I am making MSSQL stored procedure CLR calls from ASP pages. When an exception occurs, it is logged and then rethrown. In this scenario I need to be able to handle the exception (if possible) in the ASP page. Note that I cannot move away from classic ASP in this instance; I am stuck within a legacy system for this project. let me know if you know of a way to handle the exceptions in classic ASP.
We have an array of about 12 servers serving a website. Over the past few hours, one single server has started throwing exceptions for WebResource.axd and ScriptResource.axd requests.
Exception
System.Web.HttpException - This is an invalid script resource request.
Stack Trace
at System.Web.Handlers.ScriptResourceHandler.ProcessRequest(HttpContext context) at System.Web.HttpApplication.CallHandlerExecutionStep.System.Web.HttpApplication.IExecutionStep.Execute() at System.Web.HttpApplication.ExecuteStep(IExecutionStep step, Boolean& completedSynchronously)
I have checked the web.config, machine.config for every server and they're all identical. The only difference been able to find so far is that prior to the problem commencing, the servers were patched, after which, the problematic server looks to be using different version of the System.Web.dll to the others?
If I am just logging exception details in my web app, do I really need to put in exception handling logic for each tier? Why not just let them all bubble up the stack trace to the global.asax and log them there?
