Hello,

While trying the sample code in VB on page 210-211 i get an error when i run in the IDE. The program breaks on the line after the End IF right after the throw new Exception line. The error is "exception was unhandled by user code". I cant make the page launch with the custom error that is being shown on page 212. I have set the login page as the startup page. Is there an IDE setting i'm missing. Please help.

Thanks.
--------------------------------------------------
Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic

Public Class Basepage
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

Public Sub Page_PreRender(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.PreRender

If Me.Title = "Untitled Page" Or String.IsNullOrEmpty(Me.Title) Then
Throw New Exception("YOU MUST ENTER A TITLE")
'program breaks right after the above line
End If

End Sub

End Class
---------------------------
Partial Class login
Inherits Basepage

End Class

Ok, I ran it with CTRL + F5 and it no longer breaks right after the throw error line. I will assume that this is the expected behavior. Thanks

>> I will assume that this is the expected behavior.

Indeed. When you run with F5, the site runs in Debug mode and the error is caught by Visual Studio. When you run with Ctrl+F5, you're not in debugging mode, the error is not handled and shows up in the browser.

Cheers,

Imar
