Global error handling - customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="errorhandler.aspx"

Can i set <customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="errorhandler.aspx"> in my web.config, and then in ="errorhandler.aspx" i want to email my self the error. But even loading alabel control with the error that took me to the page (errorhandler.aspx) is causing me an issue.

Can i do something like
Imports System.Diagnostics
Dim ex As Exception = Server.GetLastError().GetBaseException()
label1.text = ex.message ???

This gives me - Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

What happens if you do something like:

Dim ex As New Exception(Server.GetLastError().GetBaseException().Message)

but i am running the page (with no error present) as a test directly... is that why its null?

no - still an error when i access an intentionally broken page - and it rolls to errorhandler.aspx

How about if you try:

Dim ex As Exception
If Not Server.GetLastError() Is Nothing Then
ex = Server.GetLastError().GetBaseException()
(OR)
ex = New Exception(Server.GetLastError().GetBaseException().Message)
End If

Does the old error object show anything?
Dim ex As Exception
On Error Resume Next

'Error Condition

If Err.Number <> 0 Then
'Does Err object show anything?
Dim ErrorDescription As String = Err.Description
On Error GoTo 0
Err.Clear
ex = New Exception(ErrorDescription)
End If
