If there is an unhandled exception, by default, the generic yellow screen of death is displayed. Instead, custom error pages can be displayed. Custom error pages can be defined at 2 levels
1. Application Level - In the web.config file using "customErrors" element.
2. Page Level - In the Page directive, using "ErrorPage" attribute.
Page level custom error pages takes precedence over application level custom error pages.
Custom error pages provide the flexibility of displaying a specific page in response to one or more of the available HTTP status codes.
To specify the custom error pages at an application level, use customErrors element in web.config
The mode attribute determines when a custom error page is displayed over the yello screen of death, exception page. Mode attribute can have On, Off, or RemoteOnly. Default is RemoteOnly.
On - Custom error pages are displayed both on local and remote machines
Off - Custom error pages are not displayed anywhere
RemoteOnly - Custom error pages are displayed on remote machines, and exception page on local machine
If the redirection is done in Application_Error() event handler in Global.asax, custom error pages will have no effect.
In your application, if you have to display specific custom error pages for specific http status codes, then use custom errors. If you just have one generic error page, then Global.asax can be used.
Please note that, the exception object needs to be retrieved, before the user is redirected to a custom error page. Because a custom error page is displayed through redirection, the context for the error is lost and Server.GetLastError returns nothing from the target custom error page.
