Hello All:

I have a site where I would like to have all errors directed to a custom .aspx page. My solution has to be on a grand/application scale -- not just from page to page. I have several pages already so I don't want to go through the site putting try and catches through the hole thing all over again, if you know what I mean. I have been reading MSDN's walk-throughs but I am getting quite lost!

Is there someone who has done this successfully and can give me the rundown on how to do that?

This is best done at the web server level -- through the IIS management console.  The default 404 action is to generate a generic error.  You can specify a URL (aspx page if you want) for all 404s and that page will be displayed with your helpful information and explanations.

I searched for "iis custom 404" and got several hits -- among them this one from 4guysfromrolla

Sincerely,

Carl
