Issue Log

Question

Hi Experts

I have developed a web application which works fine.But when an exception is raised it would break the complete application and give the error message to the user.I will have to interact with the user and get more details about the error.The user would send me a screenshot of what the error page was.

I have developed a error page also but if i redirect the user to the error page i would not know the error and where exception had been raised.

Some of my colleagues suggested that we can log issues into the issue log using dot net and possible exception where it has been raised .

Any Suggestions

Answer 1

Thank you Javeed and Suthish.
I have created a global.asax file and in the aplication_Error event i have created a text file which would show the errors if the application crashes or doesnt work......

Let me know if this is a good approach or not.

Answer 2

Easiest way is to write the error messages into a text file.
