Beginning Active Server Pages - Error Handling

Error Handling

Error Handling in ASP pages is also somewhat limited - the only statements available to you are the On Error Resume Next and On Error Goto 0. Also bear in mind that although Err still returns the last error, Error does not return the error text. Use Err.Description instead. An example of error trapping is shown below:

On Error Resume Next
cConn.Execute ("INSERT INTO MyTable (UserName, Password) VALUES ('fred bloggs','mypassword')
If Err Then
    Response.Write "<p><font color=""#FF0000"">An error occured. Error " & Err & " : " & Err.Description & "</font></p>"
End If

This can be particularly useful when you need to trap constraint errors generated by the database.

    Are you running IIS ? And are you viewing it in your browser via the correct URL? (ie something starting with http:// rather than file:// ) ?

    It does - you just can't see it ;) We've got an ISAPI filter that rewritse /show/1010/ to something like /show.aspx?id=1010

    Is there something special I have to do besides saving it as a .asp file, or does it just not work on my server? It just spits out the code, even HTML, as plain text.
