I have the following in my base controller:
protected override void OnException(ExceptionContext filterContext)
{
if (filterContext == null)
{
throw new ArgumentNullException("filterContext");
}
// If custom errors are disabled, we need to let the normal ASP.NET exception handler
// execute so that the user can see useful debugging information.
if (filterContext.ExceptionHandled || !filterContext.HttpContext.IsCustomErrorEnabled)
{
return;
}
Exception exception = filterContext.Exception;
// If this is not an HTTP 500 (for example, if somebody throws an HTTP 404 from an action method),
// ignore it.
if (new HttpException(null, exception).GetHttpCode() != 500)
{
return;
}
// TODO: What is the namespace for ExceptionType?
//if (!ExceptionType.IsInstanceOfType(exception))
//{
// return;
//}
// Send Email
MailException(exception);
// TODO: What does this line do?
base.OnException(filterContext);
filterContext.Result = new ViewResult
{
ViewName = "Error"
};
filterContext.ExceptionHandled = true;
filterContext.HttpContext.Response.Clear();
filterContext.HttpContext.Response.StatusCode = 500;
}
In my Shared folder, I have an Error.aspx View.
Web.config
<customErrors mode="On" />
I am still seeing the yellow screen when an exception occurs. What am I doing incorrectly?
