Use Global.asax To Catch Missing PDFs?
Sep 16, 2010
I'm trying to use the Global.asax file in the root application of the website to catch requests for pdf files in the root that don't exist any more. I've configured iis to send pdf requests to asp.net. The whole thing works perfectly on development. It also works on the live system with missing .aspx pages, but not .pdf. Instead an "Error Code 64: Host not available". I'm using the Global.asax file to avoid the web.config and child applications (1.1 & 2.0) inheriting settings.[code]...

So I handle all exceptions in my project within my Global.asax page. For example, on a random page I could have:[code]So my question is in the Application_Error method, do I need the try/catch block when trying to write to the database? I'm thinking I would in case something goes wrong with the connection, etc. - but is this really necessary? Also, what would I do in the catch block if there is an error? At that point I would be catching the error of logging an error which is confusing in its own right.

I am handling errors via my global.asax in this method:
Dim CurrentException As Exception
CurrentException = Server.GetLastError()
Dim LogFilePath As String = Server.MapPath("~/Error/" & DateTime.Now.ToString("dd-MM-yy.HH.mm") & ".txt")
Dim sw As System.IO.StreamWriter = New System.IO.StreamWriter(LogFilePath)
[code]....
In my code I currently have no other error handling. Should I still insert try, catch, finally blocks?

I need to add the code below to my global.asax file. It begins with a Sub Application_BeginRequest . My global.asax already has a section that begins with Protected Sub Application_BeginRequest(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) I'm assuming that I should not have two sections with Sub Application_BeginRequest I tried putting the core of the new code into my existing Sub Application_BeginRequest and it returns no errors but it when I try to view the website in VWDE 2010 it times out. Something is causing it to run or load slowly.
This is the code that I'm adding:
<script runat="server">
Sub Application_BeginRequest(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
Dim url = String.Empty

I've been given the thrilling task of re-writing our exception handling system. Whilst I will state that handling exceptions from an application-wide point of view isn't something we want, typically it's unavoidable when our team are understaffed for the sheer amount of work we need to push out the door, so please, no flaming the globalised solution to exception handling here

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
SplashScreen1.ProgressBar1.Value = 0

I need a function in global.asax file which gets called only once when user enter a page url. application_beginrequest gets called 50-60 times in a single page( as to render a page several requests go to server.)
i though of a solution - I can write my fucntion in global.asax and call it on page load of other pages but in that solution I need to call it in every page. I would prefer something which is to be done only in global.asax

I have a huge website (containing around 5000+) pages. There is a theme functionality in the website where user can choose different colors for their profile. Now i want to use the ASP.net theme feature and put different CSS (for different colors) in the theme folder and in Global.asax i want check the user theme and render appropriate link element with the css. But my problem is, i am not able to access the Page element for adding the link in the page. Here is my code
Dim page As System.Web.UI.Page = TryCast(System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Handler,System.Web.UI.Page)
page.StyleSheetTheme = "Black"
But when i run this code I get a Null reference error.
P.s : My application is very huge so its not possible to have a master page or a base class and inherit it in every page.

I was wondering if there was a way to catch all unhandled exceptions in a visual studio project. My project does not have any files named global or global.asax so I was wondering if there was some other way to catch any and all unhandled exceptions? So far I've tried to put exception handling around specific blocks of code, but it doesn't have any effect.

Normally I just redirect to a custom error page in on the Application_Error event, but I have a specific error for which I'd like to display an alert message while the user is still on the page which triggers the error. How can I make this happen?
I'm open to a modalpopup or any other type of error message, I just want to ensure the user stays on the page where they encounter the error.
This is in reference to this thread: [URL]
Here is the code I'm currently using:
Sub Application_Error(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)

In Global.asax, is there a way to handle SQL Timeouts elegantly, and display a message on the requesting page explaining the error? I know Global.asax has the Application_Error and Error events, but I'm not sure which (if any) I could use to accomplish this.
Related, can I access the page instance which raised the error that Global.asax is handling?

What I got:
SecureBasePage.vb (to be inherited by pages that require to login)
Default.aspx which inherits SecureBasePage
What should be the case: client requests Default.aspx but gets redirected to login because he isn't logged in.
SecureBasePage.vb has this constructor
Public Sub ()
If userIsAuthenticated Then
[code]....
This results in a exception LoginException. Now I want to let it being catched by a somehow global exception handler which kicks the client to login.aspx.I know there is a function Application_Error() in Global.asax but in my opinion this isn't an exception handler as it only takes the Server.GetLastError() and doesn't catch the exception. So more likely this function is to allow a developer to send an email about the unhandled exception. I'd call this a 'global unhandled exception handler' instead of an 'global exception handler'.Is there anything I can kinda try-catch to catch the constructors exception throwing?

I normally use the following for global error handling:
Code:
Dim currentDomain As AppDomain = AppDomain.CurrentDomain
AddHandler currentDomain.UnhandledException, AddressOf MYExceptionHandler
AddHandler Application.ThreadException, AddressOf MYThreadHandler
I normally don't have a MDI application, and When I force an error, neither of the events get fired. I don't have anything in a try catch block. How do I do this with a MDI application?

I have a program in VB.Net that receives mails from Outlook, extracts attachments and inserts the attachments into a table through a query. I would like to put the query/queries in a Try/Catch block, but cannot do so as Outlook exceptions cannot be caught, and it gives me an error, and unless I put a very specific exception, I cannot catch it. Is there a workaround?
Edit:
Try
Catch ex As Exception
End Try
Exception is underlined and when I hover on it, it says: "Catch cannot catch type 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Exception' because it is not in 'System.Exception' or a class that inherits from 'System.Exception'". This is affecting all my other code which I'd like to put into a Try/Catch block.

I've got relatively little experience with VB but I've been asked by my employer to try to write a program to automate a billing process. We print PDFs for some of our clients, and we do two copies. One copy goes to the account holder, and one goes to the company that funds the account. So we have a directory structure that looks something like this:
Copies that went to the account holders:
FolderA1234.pdf
FolderB987.pdf
FolderB6767.pdf
[Code]...
As you can see, the file names are the same. But items in FolderA are billed differently than items in FolderB. So the ideal program would be able to go through FolderA and FolderB, collect the filenames, and then go through SubfolderA and SubSubFolderA and report back that, "1 file matched a filename in FolderA. 2 files matched filenames in FolderB". I have no idea where I would beging to write such a program but is this something that is plausible?
My manager says he can probably do something like this in an hour manually so if it would take longer than that to code it's probably not worth it. I'd really like to be able to show some skill and do this, though (I've only been here a few months and this would be a good opportunity to provide some added value).

I have a PDF billing template that I need to put in the various information for customers and then send them the PDF's. I was looking into coding this with VB and saw iTextSharp mentioned a few times.
When I googled it I only found something on SourceForge and it was written in C#, where do you go for something in VB.net?

I'm automating downloads. I was getting this error quite a bit using Webbrowser to navigate to a PDF (various PDFs at various websites). In other words the PDF was already on display in the browser when I called WebClient.DownloadToFile. I got a LOT better results when I desisted from WebClient and switched to this API (just pass in the two strings along with zeroes for the other parameters).
[Code]...
And yet Webclient seems oriented for only two entries (username and password). How do you set up the credentials for three entries? I hate to abandon WebClient, but at this point I just don't know how to make it work.

Is there another 'better' way of doing this? Sometimes it just doesn't print the PDF, I guess because it's taking longer than the WaitForExit time. And so closes the process.
