Question

I have a Global.asax file that has logging code inside Application_Error handler. I need to customize it in such a way that the Application_Error handler is not reached if the exception is happened while looking for a favicon.ico file. How can we bypass the hitting of Application_Error when the exception is for favicon.ico?

Exception: File does not exist.

Url: http://localhost:14658/favicon.ico 

Note: There is no favicon.ico reference in the solution

Note: I am using internet explorer as the browser

CODE

    protected void Application_Error(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Exception occuredException = Server.GetLastError().GetBaseException();

        string connectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings[UIConstants.PayrollSQLConnection].ConnectionString;
        ExceptionBL exceptionBL = new ExceptionBL(connectionString);

        string location = Request.Url.ToString();

        exceptionBL.SubmitException(occuredException.Message, location);


    }

Reference:

1. Application_Error getting called numerous times

Answer 1

I think you can just add favicon.ico on your project (IIS)
