Ref Line # in Try Catch Finally an E-mail Line #

[R7Dave]

Hello

Using a Try Catch Finally Statement - I want to e-mail myself an error message that contains the page and line # when the code steps into the Catch (...is an error)

Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks in advance
Dave

logging is a solved problem. libraries like log4net, nlog and ent. lib. X Logging all work.

there are best practices to try/catch/finally. google for more info. I simply place logging in the global.ascx file by creating a handler for the Error event. logging and redirecting to a friendly page. it looks like this

public class Global : HttpApplication
{
   private static readonly ILog logger = LogManager.GetLoggers(typeof(Global));

   public Global()
   {
       Error += LogError;
   }

   private void LogError(object sender, EventArgs e)
   {
       logger.Error(Server.GetLastError as Exception);
   }
}
