Custom 404 error message on .NET shared hosting. How Do I do it for HTML files?

[TL]

Is there a way to trigger a custom error for a 404 tripped up by a
missing html file? (the old site was html, the new site is .NET)

We cannot do it through IIS, because it is shared hosting.

I contacted tech support for the host. verio.com

They said to do it in .NET.

However my thoughts are that this will only work when aspx files are
not found. can I do it through .NET to trigger when html files are
not found?


I am a .NET newbie, so if you could give me detailed instructions as
to which file web.config, global.asax etc... I need to change and what
code I need to enter.

TIA

You can do this in the web.config. You tell it the error you want to trap
and what page to display:

<customErrors mode="On" defaultRedirect="errpage.aspx"> <error
statusCode="404" redirect="filenotfound.aspx" /> </customErrors>

will this show a custom erro rfor a missing *.html file?
not just on missing *.aspx files?

Sorry for my lack of knowledge. i just want to make sure I understand
you correctly.

Thanks

Hmmmm. It looks like it only handles the .aspx extension as part of the
application. Arrggghh!
