Thanks for your comment.

  I have seen this before itself.
  But Iam wondoring why this error is not handled by the error handler.
  Could you please advise on this.
  You can see in my codes that I have used the error handler and it is working perfectly for all other errors.

Because it's timing out- the event handler doesn't fire. The page that would fire the event handler is the one that's stuck- so it can't be fired on that page. The error is generated by the .NET framework notifying you of the timeout.

Thanks levy :)

Can you suggest a solution for this.
Is there any other header codes by which I can solve this.
At present Iam using following header codes.

<%@ Page Language="VB" ContentType="text/html" ResponseEncoding="iso-8859-1" %>
<% Session.Timeout = 3600%>
<%@ Import NameSpace = "System.IO" %>
<%@ Import NameSpace = "System.Net" %>
<%@ Import NameSpace = "System" %>
<%@ Import NameSpace = "System.Text" %>
<%@ Import NameSpace = "System.Text.RegularExpressions" %>

No, if the page is timing out- the page is timing out. What you need to do is fix the page so it does not time out.

You can increase the Page execution timeout in your web.config by setting a value in seconds like this:

<httpRuntime executionTimeout="600"/>

This is a bit of a Heisenbug because the executionTimeout is only used if web.config has

<compilation debug="false">

and if you are not debugging the application, and if something in the page processing takes longer than the default executionTimeout of less than two minutes.
