Application_Error does not fire

For testing purposes I put a
Throw New Exception("Something didn't work right.") on the click of a button
on a page. In the application_error section of my application I have a

Response.Redirect("error.htm")

Later I will had error logging and email functionallity to this but in the
mean time I just need the application to redirect to this error.htm page.
This works perfectly fine in another application I have. It seems like the
Applicaiton_Error is not getting called during an application error.

Thanks

One thought: are you sure the button handler code is being called and
actually throwing the exception?

What happens after you click the button? (e.g. Do you get a default
error page?)

I get the defalut error page that says "Something didn't work right" on the
top. I've put a break point on the Sub Application_Error and nothing ever
happens.

more questions:

does the "Something didn't work right" error message in that page
something like this:
Line 4:
Line 5:      Protected Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal
e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Line 6:          Throw New Exception("generated by my VB Test page.")
Line 7:
Line 8:      End Sub

i mean, are you seeing the very same exception you intentionally threw
in the button click handler? or is there something else wrong?

is your Application_Error method defined in the Global.asax file (or if
using codebehind, the Global.asax.vb file)?

Are you clearing out the errors afterwards?

The code is below for both locations. I'm starting to think it has
something to do with settings in IIS or on the server.

Code that throws the error.
Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

Throw New Exception("Something didn't work right.")

End Sub

Code in the Application_Error event that resides in my Global.asax.vb

Server.ClearError()

Response.Redirect("error.htm")
