Complete Example for Error Handlers

  • Artykuł

This code example includes elements for both page-level and application-level exception handling.

Code Example Files

The example consists of the following files:

  • Web.config

  • Global.asax

  • Default.aspx

  • ExceptionUtility (to be put in the App_Code folder)

  • GenericErrorPage.aspx

  • HttpErrorPage.aspx

  • Http404ErrorPage.aspx

  • DefaultRedirectErrorPage.aspx

Web.config

The following example shows the Web.config file. The customErrors section specifies how to handle errors that occur with file types that are mapped to ASP.NET, such as .aspx, .asmx, and .ashx files. (In IIS 6.0 and in IIS 7.0 in classic mode, static content files such as .html and .jpg files are not mapped to ASP.NET.)

The settings in the example customErrors section cause any unhandled HTTP 404 (file not found) errors to be directed to the Http404ErrorPage.aspx file. These HTTP 404 errors would occur if a request were made for an .aspx file, .asmx file, and so on and if the requested file did not exist. All other unhandled errors in ASP.NET files are directed to the DefaultRedirectErrorPage.aspx file.

If static content files are not handled by ASP.NET, a request for a nonexistent .html or .jpg file does not cause a redirect to the Http404ErrorPage.aspx file. If you want ASP.NET to handle requests for all file types, you can configure IIS to map file-name extensions to ASP.NET.

Note

In the example, the mode attribute is set to "On" so that you can error messages when you run the example in Visual Studio. In a production environment, this setting would normally be "RemoteOnly". ASP.NET then renders error pages to external users. If a request is made on the server computer (localhost), ASP.NET renders a page with detailed error information.

    <configuration>
      <appSettings/>
      <connectionStrings/>
      <system.web>
        <compilation debug="true" />
    
        <!-- Turn on Custom Errors -->
        <customErrors mode="On" 
          defaultRedirect="DefaultRedirectErrorPage.aspx">
          <error statusCode="404" redirect="Http404ErrorPage.aspx"/>
        </customErrors>
    
      </system.web>
    </configuration>

Global.asax

The following example shows the Global.asax file

Security noteSecurity Note

Never set the mode attribute in the customErrors element to "Off" in the Web.config file if you have not created an Application_Error handler in the Global.asax file. If the mode is set to "Off," potentially compromising information about your Web site can be exposed to anyone who can cause an error to occur on your site.

 
Sub Application_Error(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
  ' Code that runs when an unhandled error occurs

  ' Get the exception object.
  Dim exc As Exception = Server.GetLastError

  ' Handle HTTP errors (avoid trapping HttpUnhandledException
  ' which is generated when a non-HTTP exception 
  ' such as the ones generated by buttons 1-3 in 
  ' Default.aspx is not handled at the page level).
  If (exc.GetType Is GetType(HttpException)) Then
    ' The Complete Error Handling Example generates
    ' some errors using URLs with "NoCatch" in them;
    ' ignore these here to simulate what would happen
    ' if a global.asax handler were not implemented.
          If exc.Message.Contains("NoCatch") Or exc.Message.Contains("maxUrlLength") Then
              Return
          End If

    'Redirect HTTP errors to HttpError page
    Server.Transfer("HttpErrorPage.aspx")
  End If

  ' For other kinds of errors give the user some information
  ' but stay on the default page
  Response.Write("<h2>Global Page Error</h2>" & vbLf)
  Response.Write("<p>" & exc.Message + "</p>" & vbLf)
  Response.Write(("Return to the <a href='Default.aspx'>" _
    & "Default Page</a>" & vbLf))

  ' Log the exception and notify system operators
  ExceptionUtility.LogException(exc, "DefaultPage")
  ExceptionUtility.NotifySystemOps(exc)

  ' Clear the error from the server
  Server.ClearError()
End Sub

void Application_Error(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  // Code that runs when an unhandled error occurs

  // Get the exception object.
  Exception exc = Server.GetLastError();

  // Handle HTTP errors
  if (exc.GetType() == typeof(HttpException))
  {
    // The Complete Error Handling Example generates
    // some errors using URLs with "NoCatch" in them;
    // ignore these here to simulate what would happen
    // if a global.asax handler were not implemented.
      if (exc.Message.Contains("NoCatch") || exc.Message.Contains("maxUrlLength"))
      return;

    //Redirect HTTP errors to HttpError page
    Server.Transfer("HttpErrorPage.aspx");
  }

  // For other kinds of errors give the user some information
  // but stay on the default page
  Response.Write("<h2>Global Page Error</h2>\n");
  Response.Write(
      "<p>" + exc.Message + "</p>\n");
  Response.Write("Return to the <a href='Default.aspx'>" +
      "Default Page</a>\n");

  // Log the exception and notify system operators
  ExceptionUtility.LogException(exc, "DefaultPage");
  ExceptionUtility.NotifySystemOps(exc);

  // Clear the error from the server
  Server.ClearError();
}

ExceptionUtility

The following example shows the ExceptionUtility file. Error logs might be directed to the computer's ErrorLog file, or, if the computer is part of a Web farm, the error log might be recorded in a globally available text file, or even a database. You might also need to immediately notify system administrators of a problem.

The ExceptionUtility class in the example has two static methods: one to log the exception, and one to notify system administrators. How those methods are implemented in your code depends on the needs of your organization. For this example, you must grant write permissions to the ASP.NET worker process account (by default, this is NETWORK SERVICE) for the App_Data folder to enable the application to write to the error log.

Default.aspx

The following example shows the Default.aspx page. This file provides several buttons, each of which raises a different exception. The Page_Error handler on the page displays an error page and logs some of these errors. Unhandled errors are passed to the Application_Error handler in the Global.asax file. The Application_Error handler displays an error page and logs some of the remaining errors. Any errors that are still not handled are directed to the page indicated by the customErrors section of Web.config file.

GenericErrorPage.aspx

The following example shows the GenericErrorPage.aspx page. This page creates a safe message that it displays to remote users. For local users (typically developers and testers of the application), the page displays a complete exception report. The Page_Error handler redirects InvalidOperationException errors to this page.

<%@ Page Language="VB" %>

<script runat="server">
  Dim ex As Exception = Nothing

  Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
    ' Get the last error from the server
    Dim ex As Exception = Server.GetLastError

    ' Create a safe message
    Dim safeMsg = "A problem has occurred in the web site. "

    ' Show Inner Exception fields for local access
    If ex.InnerException IsNot Nothing Then
      innerTrace.Text = ex.InnerException.StackTrace
      InnerErrorPanel.Visible = Request.IsLocal
      innerMessage.Text = ex.InnerException.Message
    End If

    ' Show Trace for local access
    If Request.IsLocal Then
      exTrace.Visible = True
    Else
      ex = New Exception(safeMsg, ex)
    End If

    ' Fill the page fields
    exMessage.Text = ex.Message
    exTrace.Text = ex.StackTrace

    ' Log the exception and notify system operators

HttpErrorPage.aspx

The following example shows the HttpErrorPage.aspx page. This page also creates a safe message that depends on the value of the error code, which it displays to remote users. For local users, the page displays a complete exception report. The Application_Error handler redirects HttpException errors to this page.

    If ((httpCode >= 400) AndAlso (httpCode < 500)) Then
      ex = New HttpException(httpCode, _
        "Safe message for 4xx HTTP codes.", ex)
    ElseIf (httpCode > 499) Then
      ex = New HttpException(ex.ErrorCode, _

    Else
      ex = New HttpException(httpCode, _
        "Safe message for unexpected HTTP codes.", ex)
