You got to use

try
{
......
}
catch( MyTypeOfException)
{
.....
}
in your code if you want to continue execution flow if MyTypeOfException
type had happened

The rest is correct approach.  Handle it in Application_Error and Log it or
send yourself an email with Exception details.

George.

This is my approach.

Each webpage is kind of its own little world.

So I create a class...a common helper

public class ExceptionHandler
{
public void MainStreamHandleException  ( Page p , Exception ex , bool
redirectToCommon )
{

//what i do is log the exception , but you can do what you want

//have "p" allows you to redirect if you need to
if(redirectToCommon )
{
p.Response.Redirect ('~/UnhandledException.aspx'); //whatever you want to do
}

}

}

NOW...in each aspx.cs file...I do this

page_load

try
{
//load data ..etc . etc

}
catch(Exception ex)
{

ExceptionHandler.MainStreamHandleException (this.Page, ex);

}

If I have a submit button I have to do the same thing.

button_one_click
{
try
{
// Save an Employee?? whatever action you have

}
catch(Exception ex)
{

ExceptionHandler.MainStreamHandleException (this.Page, ex);

}
}

Its not super cool....but it allows me a little bit of control.

There's probably a better solution..I'm just sharing what I do.
