Re: How to set errorlog type and connectionstring in codebehind (global.asax)

Hi there!
Currently that's not something that you can do.
Implementing such a feature would be rather complicated too as you
then have to have extension points for the elmah.axd handler as well
as the ErrorLogModule.
However, the following approach might help...
Instead of using a connection string directly, use a

You could maybe do this through a pre-build step in your solution rather
than hard-coding something that should be configurable. Or if you use
NANT to build your projects, you can get it to build the correct
distribution once the build has occurred.

How to set errorlog type and connectionstring in codebehind (global.asax)

m...@samnikolajthomsen.dk (TomJuice) — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 11:49:12 UT

I'want to use the same web.config file for different websites.
Until now i've set the errorlog type and connection in the web-config?
<errorLog type="Elmah.SqlErrorLog, Elmah" connectionString="Data
Source=freeway-db02;Initial Catalog=Studienet;Integrated
Security=False; User Id=Studienet;Password=G7b5Apr5 XUhE;Connect

Thanks a lot for the comments and suggestions, everyone. I'm still
working on the code, but once I get it into a workable state, and get
confirmation with my boss that it's okay that I open source code I've
been working on while on the job, I'll be sure to throw it up on
Github and link it here (and notify Hoptoad, of course).

There's also a Google Group for the development of Hoptoad notifier
plugins:

Drop by if you have any questions or issues integrating with Hoptoad.

There are other .NET developers using Hoptoad and at least one other
known open source .NET project but it also uses an old version of the
API:

If you'd like to write your own, the new XML API is documented at:

This is certainly a nice integration to have. I gave Hoptoad a spin some
time ago but your message prompted to look at it again and it's certainly
come a long way. I think you could start lightly by sharing your solution as
an attachment to a post in the group when you're ready for initial feedback.

Hoptoad Module

adamjf...@gmail.com (Adam Ford) — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 15:29:56 UT

Hi everyone,
I've written the start of a module that sends exceptions logged by
ELMAH to a web application called Hoptoad ([link]
home), and I was wondering if I should put the code out there once I
whip it into shape.
A few questions:
-Should I even do this? I have no idea if any .NET devs are even using

aziza...@gmail.com (Atif Aziz) — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 23:38:02 UT

Just don't register the ErrorMailModule from ELMAH in your configuration
file and it will never send mails for unhandled exceptions. You can still
continue to use the logging and viewing facilities of ELMAH because those
are enabled through registration of independent an independent module and
handler.

Re: [ELMAH] Anyone know how to filter this exception?

Have you checked the following thread also related to filtering
CryptographicException?

The thread was inconclusive but do any of the examples help in your case?

Re: [ELMAH] Custom Error Page

aziza...@gmail.com (Atif Aziz) — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 23:30:32 UT

This is something you need to develop yourself. ELMAH's
*ErrorLogModule* provides
a *Logged* event that you can handle in *Global.asax* and which you can use
to communicate details, say via *HttpContext.Items* collection, to your
custom error page. If you registered the *ErrorLogModule* under the name *

That's correct.
Deploying a PDB to a release build should be perfectly safe if you've taken
all other precautions that are the usual suspects in securing a production
web server and ASP.NET box . Can you cite any online and authoritative
references that discourage deploying PDB in production? Meanwhile, you may

Problem solved - I had to add "<clear />" at the top of the
httpmodules list.

Correction - on development, the configuration is at the root of the
website. On production it is at the virtual directory level. Do I
need to configure something related to the "application" column (in
elmah_error)?

Re: Handler working, Modules not

jmadd...@gmail.com (Jeremy) — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 14:05:01 UT

I should also note that this is the configuration of a virtual
directory ([link]), not the top level web-
site. However, that is also the case on development.
