Exception ex = application.Server.GetLastError();

This will give you last error.

Then you can now use ex.Message or ex.ToString() to get relevent info of particular errror.


Sachi

I guess if you read this article in detail you will get more details

http://www.developer.com/net/asp/article.php/961301

The GetLastError() method of the Server object simply returns a reference to a generic HttpException. This is a wrapper that was placed around the original exception when it was passed from your ASP.NET page to the Application_Error event. To get access to the original exception, you need to call its GetBaseException() method. This will yield the original exception information, regardless of how many layers have been added to the exception tree.

about the first comment were should i type it

You can put in Page_Load of that errorPage.aspx


Sachi

Sorry but your answer is not clear and about the example in the above link I triad but I get a message say's operator '&' is not defined.


here is the example in the global.asax file

Imports System.Diagnostics

Sub Application_Error(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
   'get reference to the source of the exception chain
   Dim ex As Exception = Server.GetLastError().GetBaseException()

   'log the details of the exception and page state to the
   'Windows 2000 Event Log
   EventLog.WriteEntry("Test Web", _
     "MESSAGE: " & ex.Message & _
     "\nSOURCE: " & ex.Source & _
     "\nFORM: " & Request.Form.ToString() & _
     "\nQUERYSTRING: " & Request.QueryString.ToString() & _
     "\nTARGETSITE: " & ex.TargetSite & _
     "\nSTACKTRACE: " & ex.StackTrace, _
     EventLogEntryType.Error)

   'Insert optional email notification here...
End Sub

In that case you try to put into one single line


EventLog.WriteEntry("Test Web", "MESSAGE: " & ex.Message & "\n SOURCE: " & ex.Source & "\nFORM: " & quest.Form.ToString() & "\nQUERYSTRING: " & Request.QueryString.ToString() & "\nTARGETSITE: " & ex.TargetSite & 
     "\nSTACKTRACE: " & ex.StackTrace, EventLogEntryType.Error)

"&" is to concat all those value and put into one string.

still the same but now  it's  highlighted on                    quest.Form.ToString()

sorry  Rquest.Form.ToString()

huh sorry - It should be -> >>>  Request.Form.ToString()

Can you just put this line instead of that line


EventLog.WriteEntry("Test Web", _
     "MESSAGE: " & ex.Message & _
     "\nSOURCE: " & ex.Source & _
     "\nTARGETSITE: " & ex.TargetSite & _
     "\nSTACKTRACE: " & ex.StackTrace, _
     EventLogEntryType.Error)

I don't get it the namespace is defined but still receiving the same error


c:\inetpub\wwwroot\WebApplication11\Global.asax.vb(52): Operator '&' is not defined for types 'String' and 'System.Reflection.MethodBase'.
