    ASP error logging

    Hi,

    The problem is the following: I have experienced some ASP errors in my
    web application and I'm unable to reproduce those errors because IIS
    is configured in a way that does not send any debugging messages to
    the user (and I cannot change it). Only standard string "An error
    occured on the web server when processing the url..." is sent. So, two
    questions:
    1) Is there any way to log such situations to the eventlog, a file,
    database or any other storage?
    OR
    2) Is there any way to allow me to send only piece on debugging
    information to the user. In other words: I'd like to send error code
    that would be understandable only by me?

    thanks
    P.

          no it does not :(. I cannot tell users to change their browsers settings.
          Any other ideas?

              Huh? You can't make a simple request to your users to turn off Friendly
              errors to help you debug your application so that their use of your
              application will be enhanced? This seems ultra-cautios on your part (to me,
              at least).

              An alternative would be to use a custom error page to do your error logging
              (http://www.aspfaq.com/show.asp?id=2335), but you say this is not allowed.

              The only solution I can see is to write a page that logs the errors to a
              database (or perhaps to a flat file), then include code in each and every
              page to call this error handler when errors occur.

                  Change yours and duplicate the user's actions. The browser is hiding
                  the error message you need.
