I have this code that appears at the top of every page

I have tried putting this into my master page, however, the error
message doesnt appear when I do this even though I have the variables
declared in the other pages.

<asp:Content id="contentErrors" ContentPlaceHolderID="siteErrors"
runat="server">
<% if (pageErrors) { %>
<div class="siteError">
<h2>Error</h2><em><%=pageError %></em>
</div>
<% } %>
</asp:Content>

I could use an iframe and link a error.aspx page within it and pass
the values as parameters via the URL, but this seems cumbersome to me.

Any suggestions?
 
You can set a custom error page in web.config. Is that what you need? Also
you can use Server.GetLastError to get the error message.

Well thats a whole error page, im just looking at a div that appears
at the top of every page and is only displayed when needed.

Ill have a look at GetLastError. Cheers.

Actually I checkd GetLastError. This seems more to do with application
level errors. Im after something for user errors such as missing data
entry or wrong formatted date.

Anyone?

For that, use structured error exception handling.

What about in a user control?
 
Sorry for the Hijack..


speaking of Error Handling. I have set it up at the Application level
a few times using global.asax, but is there a way to set up a default
global.asax file that i can have multiple asp.net applications point
to?
 
Hi,
I think it's a "BasePage" case... If you make all your pages inherit from a
"BasePage" class (that inherits from Page), you can put everything you want
"global" in this "BasePage" without needing every single page to declare for
example the 'pageErrors' variable.

I hope it helps

hi
btw, I also agree with Larry Bud's post saying you could use a user control,
but you would still need to copy-paste the usercontrol to every single
page... coupled with the "BasePage", it could be terrific... ;)

I hope it helps
