Is there a built in or a proper way to handle errors in asp.net

  • 0

Is there a built in or a proper way to handle errors in asp.net mvc 3?

This is what I want to do:

  1. If the application crashes, or throws an error, it goes to a specific error page.
  2. I can throw my own error from the controller action. (and it goes to an error page).

I found the following ways:

  1. I see there is a long way to do it
    here. (for v1 and v2 but also
    applies to v3).
  2. Using errorhandle attribute here.

How do I handle this the proper way?

If the solution is similar or is like #1 in the list above, I am using ninject and I have not created a base class. How do I still do this?

    For Global Error Handling
    All you have to do is change the customErrors mode=”On” in web.config page
    Error will be displayed through Error.cshtml resides in shared folder.

    Make sure that Error.cshtml Layout is not null.

    [It sould be something like: @{ Layout = “~/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml”; }

    Or remove Layout=null code block]

    A sample markup for Error.cshtml:-

    @{ Layout = "~/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml"; } 

@model System.Web.Mvc.HandleErrorInfo

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Error</title>
</head>
<body>
    <h2>
        Sorry, an error occurred while processing your request.
    </h2>
    <p>Controller Name: @Model.ControllerName</p>
    <p>Action Name : @Model.ActionName</p>
    <p>Message: @Model.Exception.Message</p>
</body>
</html>

    For Specific Error Handling
    Add HandleError attribute to specific action in controller class. Provide ‘View’ and ‘ExceptionType’ for that specific error.
    A sample NotImplemented Exception Handler: 

    public class MyController: Controller
    {
        [HandleError(View = "NotImplErrorView", ExceptionType=typeof(NotImplementedException))]
        public ActionResult Index()
        {
            throw new NotImplementedException("This method is not implemented.");
            return View();
        }
}
