Is there anything wrong with having an asp.net page throw a (custom error) if a a required querystring parameter is missing and having global.asax catch it with Application_Error, then transfer the user to an error page? I have several base classes that perform these checks and I am not sure of the best way to communicate the error to a user.
So, something like this:
int reqParam;
if(!isParamSet("myReqParam", out reqParam))
{
throw new QuerystringParamMissingException();
}
which is then caught by Application_Error in global.asax.
