Application_Error Event Not Firing

[NWChowd]

Hi,

I cannot figure out why the Application_Error event is not firing. I simply want to send an email whenever an error occurs. I don't receive any errors. it just does not fire. The C# code is below:


protected void Application_Error(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
string ErrorMessage = "The error description is as follows : " + Server.GetLastError().ToString();

mail.To = "user@email.com";
mail.Subject = "Error in the Site";
mail.Priority = MailPriority.High;
mail.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Text;
mail.Body = ErrorMessage;
SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "server1";
SmtpMail.Send(mail);
}

any thoughts on what I am missing??

Thanks,
DMill

if you can debug, set a breakpoint in the first line of the Error event and see if it gets hit, otherwise instead of sending an email, try writing the content of the error to a file. in both cases, be sure that indeed the error event does not get fired and post back.
