Server.GetLastError() return null

Try using the Application_Error() event in Global.asax.
The context of the error will be available here. Your
application is handling the error, and thus there is no
LastError to Get.

hth,

http://weblogs.asp.net/CFrazierUsing Application_Error() does work. Thank-you!!!

What's confusing though is that I am simply trying to work
through an example on page 292 in "Developing WEB
Applications with Microsoft Visual Basic .NET and Visual
C# .NET". This example works with Server.GetLastError().
Perhaps book is wrong?

Server.GetLastError() in a Web Farm

If I am handling errors in my Global.Asax Application_Error method and this
resides on a web farm and I am trying to trap the last exception that was
thrown, I assume that Server.GetLastError() will only check for the last
error on the current server. What if I was redirected via load balancing to
a different server. How do I accomidate for this?If an exception occured, how would you get redirected to a different server?

Exception Occurs
local error handling
page error handling
global error handling

there's no redirection happening...it all happens in a single thread...

Server.MapPath in Global.asax

I want to use Server.MapPath function in Global.asax because I want to save
in an application variable the path of my database. Global.asax is in the
root directory of my web folder and database is in database/database.mdb.
Now, if I start my web site from default.aspx in the root folder all is ok,
but if start it with a page in a nested folder Global.asax can't find the
folder because Server.MapPath use the relative path of nested folder as base
for its search.
What can I do?
Many thanks
SebastianoUse an absolute path for the Server.MapPath argument such as
~/database/database.mdb instead of just database/database.mdb

Thank you so much, I can't understand why MS did not mention the importance
of the "~" symbol in the path request. I have waisted hours trying to look
for documentation.
