Question

I am trying to write an FilterAttribute, IExceptionFilter global error handling attribute which should serve up a custom error view. I override public void OnException(ExceptionContext context) and do

context.HttpContext.Response.Clear();
context.HttpContext.Response.TrySkipIisCustomErrors = true;
context.HttpContext.Response.StatusCode = 403;

context.ExceptionHandled = true;
context.Result = new ViewResult { ... not sure what to put here... }

which is where I am stuck.
Everything I have tried so far causes me to see internal server error pages. I suspect I want something like

context.Result = new ViewResult
{
    ViewName = "~/Errors/ReadOnlyMode.cshtml",
}

However that didn’t seem to work (internal server errors…).

Answer 1

This should work

context.Result = new ViewResult
{
    ViewName = "~/Views/Errors/ReadOnlyMode.cshtml",
}
