Exception handler (CustomExceptionHandler class)

This class processes all exceptions that occur in the web application. You can use it to handle all exceptions and run custom actions, such as sending e-mail to administrator or logging the exception to you helpdesk or monitoring system.

The class has only one method: OnException(Exception e)

Example

The following example shows how to handle the OnException event and send the password to the administrator whenever an error occurs:

1.	Open the CustomExceptionHandler class and put the following code at the beginning of the file. It adds the reference to the namespaces we will use to handle the event:

[C#]

using CMS.EmailEngine;

2.	Put the following code inside the OnException method.

[C#]

// we will use the CMS.EmailProvider to send e-mails

EmailMessage email = new EmailMessage();

email.From = "admin@domain.com";

email.Recipients = "admin@domain.com";

email.Subject = "Exception";

email.Body = e.Message + "<br />" + e.StackTrace + "<br />" + e.Source;

EmailSender.SendEmail(email);

3.	Set the From and Recipients e-mail addresses to you e-mail address.

4.	Compile and run the project. Now, when some exception occurs or is raised by your code, the e-mail with exception details are sent.
