ASP.Net Response.Redirect not working in Application_Error?

Question

I don't know why the Response.Redirect not working properly when I deploy my code to IIS7? The white/yellow error page always get displayed instead of my Errors.aspx. But when debug running using Visual Studio on my computer, it runs just fine?

protected void Application_Error(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            ILog log = LogManager.GetLogger(typeof(Global).Name);
            Exception objErr = Server.GetLastError().GetBaseException();
            log.Error(objErr);
            string err = "Error Caught in Application_Error event\n" +
                    "\nError Message:" + objErr.Message.ToString() +
                    "\nStack Trace:" + objErr.StackTrace.ToString();
            EventLog.WriteEntry("Kiosk", err, EventLogEntryType.Error);
            Server.ClearError();
            Response.Redirect("~/Error.aspx", false);
        }

if you attach a debugger, can you break into the code at see if Response.Redirect is actually being called? — Pauli Østerø, Dec 14 '10 at 04:30
well, I debugged using Visual Studio on my machine and it runs fine. But when deploying to IIS, it doesn't run anymore — Leo, Dec 14 '10 at 04:46

I had the same problem and solved it with:

HttpContext.Current.ClearError();             
Response.Redirect("~/Error.aspx", false);
return;

HttpContext.Current.Server.ClearError();
HttpContext.Current.ClearError();
====================================================================
Redirect to NEW VIRTUAL! directory (Error)
HttpContext.Current.Response.Redirect([http://localhost:8990/Error/ErrorPageServer.aspx]);

For me the below code worked.

HttpContext.Current.Server.ClearError();
HttpContext.Current.Response.Redirect("~/ErrorPage.aspx");

protected void Application_Error(object sender, EventArgs e)
{            
     Exception objErr = Server.GetLastError().InnerException;
    //Logging.WriteToErrorLog("Error Caught in Application_Error event", objErr);
   HttpContext.Current.Server.ClearError();
   HttpContext.Current.Application.Add("test", objErr);
   HttpContext.Current.Response.Redirect("~/Home/Index");
   return;
}

Try to turn off the CustomError in web.config. It will give you more specific about the error details. Maybe it doesn't the error from Response.Redirect.
