response.redirect?

[Trebor100]

Hi all,

fingers crossed this is a quick and easy question.

I'm doing an error control page that attempts to redirect you to your destination every 20 seconds. The error page loads a-okay and redirects when the page is up however if the page is still down i get the diagnose windows connection page. The redirect code is simply:

try
{
Response.Redirect(strUrl);
}
catch
{
//user error message etc
}

What do I need to change for the exceptino to be thrown inside the error page?

Cheers,
Rob

because you are swallowing the exception there is no exception after redirecting to the error page.

BTW, this is really bad code. you will need try/catches all over the place with redirects and you lose the exception details as to what went wrong. you can use built-in asp.net hooks to handle error page management without all the try/catch blocks.

Here is just a sampling of the various tools you can use to manage exceptions with the asp.net framework: Global.Application_Error method, Global.Error event. Page.Error event, Page.OnError method, web.config CustomErrors node, Server.GetLastError(), Server.Error

for future reference, since you are working with the asp.net framework, I would recommend forum855 for questions of this nature.

google "asp.net exception handling" for more examples of how to manage exceptions.
