Need to direct user to a friendly error page and EMail exception details to the developer.

When an error occurs, the friendly error page, errorpage.aspx needs to open. A detailed exception message needs to be Emailed to the developer.

I copied code from references. The global.aspx handles all errors. However the friendly error page does not open. I, the developer am not receiving an error detail mail message.

What am I missing?

This is what I have:

web.config

       <customErrors mode="RemoteOnly"   defaultRedirect="ErrorPage.aspx">
   
        </customErrors>
       
      </system.web>
      <system.net>
            <mailSettings>
                  <smtp from="myname@mailsite.com">
                        <network
                        host="localhost"
                        password=""
                        userName=""/>
                  </smtp>
            </mailSettings>
      </system.net>
</configuration>

ErrorPage.aspx.vb

Imports System.Net.Mail
Imports System.Diagnostics
Partial Class ErrorPage
    Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

    Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
        Dim objClient As New SmtpClient
        Dim objEMail As New MailMessage
        Dim strTo As String = ""
        Dim strUserName As String = ""
        Dim usrCurrent As MembershipUser = Membership.GetUser()
        Dim strErrorMessage As String = ""

        If Not usrCurrent Is Nothing Then
            strUserName = usrCurrent.UserName
            strErrorMessage = "Thank you:" & strUserName _
            & " The error has been Emailed to our development staff."
        End If
        txtErrorMsg.Text = strErrorMessage
    End Sub
End Class
