Redirect to custom page if error

[rafal444]

I would like to redirect to a custom page when there is application error on the server. Can I do it globally?

This is the error:

Compilation Error
...
Compiler Error message: CVT1106: cannot write to file

1. Use try/catch blocks to code lines that they may raise an exception.
2. Then use a global error page to inform the users with a friendly message, by redirecting them to a custom made page. Please tell us your asp.net version that you use (1.1 or 2.0?).

A compile time error is going to blow up before users hit your page. Redirection shouldn't help much there.

That error looks like a visual studio locked file issue.

What about changes to web.config? Will it work?

I just need some global level error handling... Will this work in web.config?

<customErrors defaultRedirect="error.htm" mode="RemoteOnly" />

Application_error will do it for you, although there are some gotchas in getting the current, correct error.
