In every Sitecore application, you have to create error
page. Error can be occurred at any time anywhere in application [We developers are always right. Errors are always due to incorrect contents entered by content editor J].
Anyway here are the steps to implement it
·
Create template, layout and content item
for error page. I am creating only two fields in template here – Error Title, Error Message
·
On error page, I am displaying information
of both these fields entered by content tree.
·
Generally I am creating single layout for
all the contents. So I implemented the Page_Error event to capture all the
error generated at layout page level.
·
Here is code
/// <summary>
/// page-level exception handler
/// </summary>
/// <param
name="sender"></param>
/// <param
name="e"></param>
public void Page_Error(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//
retrieve the last exception
Exception exception = HttpContext.Current.Server.GetLastError();
//
handle any exception
if (exception != null)
{
string error = exception.ToString();
HttpContext.Current.Server.ClearError();
ErrorLog(error);
}
}
/// <summary>
/// Log and redirect to error page
/// </summary>
/// <param
name="error"></param>
private void ErrorLog(string error)
{
// log
and clear the exception
Sitecore.Diagnostics.Log.Error(error, this);
// Pass
the error on to the Generic Error page
string errorPageURL = Sitecore.Links.LinkManager.GetItemUrl(Sitecore.Context.Database.Items.GetItem(new ID("{SSSS778C-JKHJ-SKSK-A01C-411E2028KKKK}")));
Response.Redirect(errorPageURL);
}

useful for you.
