In my web.config file I am redirecting all errors encountered in any ASPX page in my application to a ERROR.aspx page. I would like to be able to capture the HTTP_REFERER that brings my user to this ERROR.aspx page. I also have a RETRY button on this ERROR.aspx page that I would like to assign the value of that HTTP_REFERER and have the user try again. I have tried using the following C# code in my code behind page to get this effect but to no avail:

namespace ThrOrg.errorhandle
{
/// <summary>
/// Summary description for errorhandle.
/// </summary>
///

public class errorhandle : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button retryButton;
protected System.Web.UI.WebControls.Panel errorPanel;
private string strHTTP;

private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
strHTTP = Request.Querystring.Get("aspxerrorpath").ToString( );
Response.Write(strHTTP);
SqlConnection dbConnection;
try
{
dbConnection = Thr.Utilities.Database.GetDBConnection();
}
catch (Exception exc)
{
Literal content = new Literal();
content.Text = "Connection to database server not available at this time. Please try again later.<br><br><br>";
this.errorPanel.Controls.Add(content);
this.errorPanel.Visible = true;
return;
}
}

#region Web Form Designer generated code
override protected void OnInit(EventArgs e)
{
//
// CODEGEN: This call is required by the ASP.NET Web Form Designer.
//
InitializeComponent();
base.OnInit(e);
}

/// <summary>
/// Required method for Designer support - do not modify
/// the contents of this method with the code editor.
/// </summary>
private void InitializeComponent()
{
this.retryButton.Click += new System.EventHandler(this.retryButton_Click);
this.Load += new System.EventHandler(this.Page_Load);

}
#endregion

private void retryButton_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
   Response.Redirect(strHTTP);
}
}
}

Any help or direction that anyone has time to give would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,
    You can use the asperrorpath querystring value to get back to the page.When .NET redirects to the custom error page it appends one querystring also with it named asperrorpath which contains the URL of the requested page.

Santhi,

Thanks for the reply. Finally got a little farther using the code above but my problem is appending the "http://SERVERNAME" + strHTTP in my response.redirect without hard coding it in:

http://localhost/errorhandle/errorha...ners_Dues.aspx

I am stuck trying this code but when I try to write it out I get nothing:

private void retryButton_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    Response.Redirect(strHTTP);
}

Any help would be appreciated. THANKS!!

Why you are appending the "http://servername" ..You can give directly the path from aspxerrorpath to Response.Redirect .it will work.
