Application_Error() not firing

Application_Error() not firing

In an ASP.NET application, the Application_Error() method in the Global.asax.cs file is responsible for handling unhandled exceptions that occur during request processing. If the Application_Error() method is not firing, there are several possible reasons:

  1. The exception is being handled elsewhere: If an exception occurs and is handled by a try-catch block or an exception filter, the Application_Error() method will not be called. Check your code to see if there are any other exception handling mechanisms in place.

  2. Custom error pages are enabled: If custom error pages are enabled in the web.config file, the Application_Error() method will not be called for certain types of errors. To disable custom error pages and ensure that the Application_Error() method is called for all errors, set the customErrors element in the web.config file to "Off", like this:

    <system.web> <customErrors mode="Off" /> </system.web>

    If you're using ASP.NET Core, you can configure error handling in the Configure() method of your startup class using the UseExceptionHandler() method.

  3. The application pool is recycling: If the application pool for your application is recycling frequently, it may cause the Application_Error() method to not be called. Check your application pool settings to ensure that recycling is not occurring too frequently.

  4. The Global.asax.cs file is not being compiled: If the Global.asax.cs file is not being compiled, the Application_Error() method will not be called. Ensure that the Global.asax.cs file is included in your project and that it is set to compile.

If none of these solutions work, try attaching a debugger to your application and setting a breakpoint in the Application_Error() method to see if it's being called. This can help you determine if the issue is with the method itself or with the way it's being called.

    • Description: Implement logging within Application_Error to troubleshoot why errors are not being logged.
    • Code:
      // In Global.asax.cs protected void Application_Error(object sender, EventArgs e) { Exception exception = Server.GetLastError(); // Log the exception details }

  7. "Application_Error not handling AJAX errors"

    • Description: Adjust Application_Error to handle errors from AJAX requests.
