ASP.NET Global.asax Application_Error works, but not when using the Error event

Question

I have an ASP.NET MVC application that should catch all unhandled exceptions in the global.asax application error handler.

If I define a handler as follows:

protected void Application_Error(object sender, EventArgs e)

then it works great. However, if in the Application_Start event I try to execute:

this.Error += new EventHandler(Application_Error);

The actual event is never called.

Does anyone know why and if so, what am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

You do not need to explicitly add an error event; Application_Error should be automatically called through the framework.

protected void Application_Error(object sender, EventArgs e) {
  Exception exception = Server.GetLastError();
  // log exception
  // Email exception
}
