What i would like to do is catch any exception that hasn't been handled in the web application then send the user to a screen saying something like
"Were sorry this has crashed"
And at the same time send the exception to our ticketing systems.
I am assuming I need to put it in the the global.cs somewhere just not sure where?
I'm using a static Timer in my Global.asax to run a method at regular intervals. When the method throws an exception, my application is stopped. I have used an empty catch to prevent exceptions from stopping the application something like below code. Is there a disadvantage to use such an approach?

I get this error in the browser:

I have try{}catch(Exception ex){} in the right place:
Code:
protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
try
{
// all processing occurs inside here
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
}
}
I even created a global.asax file and on the Application_Error event, I wrote a code that would email me the error (and i'm not getting an email regarding that error when I get the error shown above). I know for a fact that the thread is going inside the "try" statement because I send emails to myself whenever it finishes certain codes inside of it. So how come I'm getting that error in my browser instead of it being handled in my "catch" statement? I have two problems here, one, why is the exception not going to my "catch" statement, and two, why am I getting that error in the first place.
Note: my web app calls a webservice.
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?
View 5 RepliesI'm trying to use the Global.asax file in the root application of the website to catch requests for pdf files in the root that don't exist any more. I've configured iis to send pdf requests to asp.net. The whole thing works perfectly on development. It also works on the live system with missing .aspx pages, but not .pdf. Instead an "Error Code 64: Host not available". I'm using the Global.asax file to avoid the web.config and child applications (1.1 & 2.0) inheriting settings.
Edit:
I configured IIS to send .pdf requests to asp.net using the Application Configuration dialog on the mappings tab and adding .pdf extension mapped to the aspnet_isapi.dll. "Verify that file exists" is turned off (although I've also tried it turned on).
So I handle all exceptions in my project within my Global.asax page. For example, on a random page I could have:
[code]....
So my question is in the Application_Error method, do I need the try/catch block when trying to write to the database? I'm thinking I would in case something goes wrong with the connection, etc. - but is this really necessary? Also, what would I do in the catch block if there is an error? At that point I would be catching the error of logging an error which is confusing in its own right.
Looking for best practice focused answers here with explanations.
Should the presentation layer of an ASP.Net app catch and handle exceptions thrown from the business layer, or should these be allowed to bubble out, where they can all be logged and handled uniformly in the Global.ascx's Application_Error handler?

i am almost finished up with a website and i have used this try catch block only in few places. now what i want is that i want to catch all the exception so that i can report the same through mail.. is it possible in any way to catch all the exception in one place and mail it cause now writing this block everywhere will be a kind of tedious process?
View 4 RepliesI have tried this on two different controller methods now, and both times, even if the linq2sql doesn't allow the data to be saved, the code never jumps into the catch block.
I've watched the noun object in the middle of the trace, and the isvalid property is false, but the modelstate isvalid is true. Either way, the code never jumps into the catch block.I'm pulling my hair out about this. I feel like it will be something really silly.
The code all works similar to nerd dinner.
NounRepository nounRepository = new NounRepository();
Noun noun = new Noun();

I'd rather not have to add code in this manner though, as it seems like an unnecessary duplication.
In Asp.net (c#),i'm not able to catch exception(FileNotFoundException) properly... i don't know the reason..Actually File s not there..But catch statement fails to catch the exception..here is the code..

} [code]...
I have ObjectDataSource and GridView on one of the pages of my asp.net web project.
To initialize ObjectDataSource i use Init event:
protected void ObjectDataSource1_Init(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
ObjectDataSource1.EnablePaging = true;
ObjectDataSource1.TypeName = "CustomerDataSource";
ObjectDataSource1.DataObjectTypeName = "Customer";
ObjectDataSource1.SelectMethod = "GetCustomers";
ObjectDataSource1.UpdateMethod = "Update";
ObjectDataSource1.SelectCountMethod = "GetCustomersCount";
ObjectDataSource1.MaximumRowsParameterName = "maximumRows";
ObjectDataSource1.StartRowIndexParameterName = "startRowIndex";
}
Somewhere in DAL:
public static List<Customer> GetCustomers(int maximumRows, int startRowIndex)
{
try {
... some select to database here...
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Utils.LogError(ex);
throw ex;
}
}
Now let's imagine that GetCustomers for some reason throws an exception. How could i catch this exception and handle it? I know i can use Application_Error, but i would like to catch this exception somehow on my page and show some friendly message to the user.
A developer has created a custom control in ASP.NET using VB.NET. The custom control uses a repeater. In certain scenarios, the rpt_ItemDataBound event is encountering a data error. My goal is rather than having the user see the yellow screen of death, give the user a friendlier error explaining exactly what the data error is. I figured I would be able to use a Try/Catch block as shown below throw the exception, however, it appears that the event has nowhere to be thrown to and stops executing at the "End Try" line.
Protected Sub rpt_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.RepeaterItemEventArgs) Handles rpt1.ItemDataBound, rpt2.ItemDataBound
Try
ProcessBadData...
Catch ex As Exception
Throw ex
End Try
End Sub
In VB.NET, I can find where the repeater's DataSource is being set, however, I can not find a DataBind event. how I can capture the exception in this ASCX control so I can report it to the user? Edit: The stack trace looks like this. There is another repeater within the repeater that is actually causing the error (rptOther) and I'm able to catch the error, but I can only throw it to the rpt_ItemDataBound. I can't figure out how rpt_ItemDataBound is getting called without a DataBind event.

at System.Web.UI.WebControls.Repeater.OnItemDataBound(RepeaterItemEventArgs e)

I need to create a small web application. The first thing I need to do is to develop the login, logout and user session management functionality. I wanted to use a masterpage and a usercontrol for this purpose. When a user open the page and IS LOGGED IN, the usercontrol should something like this:
"Hello Username! <a>Logout</a>"
And if he is NOT LOGGED IN, the Usercontrol should show something like this
"Login | Logout"
When he clicks on the Login Button the Login-page should be opened. How can I build a Usercontrol which does the above thing. (I have never build a usercontrol and used it in a masterpage before!) The second problem is a little bit komplexer: What happens if the user idles some times and after that time (for example 30minutes) comes back to his pc and wants to execute an action in the web application. Normally he should get an session timeout asp.net exception. I don't want that the user sees this asp.net errorpage, I want to redirect him to the Login Page and he should relogin and gets an error message shown something like "You were timed out. Please login again".
I have a Global.ascx and I wrote a simple url writer module :
void Application_BeginRequest(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
try
{
string strPath = Context.Request.Url.AbsoluteUri;
string[] sections = strPath.Split('/');
int len = sections.Length;
string strExtention = sections[len - 1].Split('.')[1];
if (strExtention.ToLower().TrimEnd().Equals("xml"))
{
if (sections[len - 2].Equals("ATM"))
Context.RewritePath("~/Include/XML Files/Orders/TMP/" + sections[len - 1]);
else
Context.RewritePath("~/Include/XML Files/Orders/" + sections[len - 1]);
}
}
catch
{
}
}
it works locally but it dosen't work in the host how I can implement handler for this? Server.Transfer doesn't work also.
What is the purpose of adding a try catch condition that simply throws the Exception?

Does [HandleError] attribute in MVC replaces the traditional try catch exception handling?
As I have seen codes in controllers where the top line of code is [HandleError] also I have not seen much of try catch in the code of the application I am working on.
while doing debugging i found a blue dotted corner around catch block, while hovering it is showing system.exception...what does it mean and what to do

I m having a datagrid and for client side events I m using Javascript. I have few other buttons in the same page.
when I click on datagrid and select, it is working fine. After that, if I click on any other button in the Page, It is directly going to global.asax and throwing exception.
If I click directly on other buttons, they are working fine. Once I click on Datagrid and try to click on other buttons, it is throwing that exception.
