Application_Error being ignored

[Guest]

I am using VS2005 Professional, DOT.NET FrameWork 2.

During testing and debugging through the IDE using the development machine
LocalHost server whenever an error is encountered the Application_Error fires
OK and all code in the function is executed successfully.

When this application is deployed to the production (using a deployment
project). When errors occur the code in Application_Error is ignored
completely and the error is displayed using the DOT.NET standard error
reporting page.

I noticed that the Global.asax contains:
<%@ Application Codebehind="Global.asax.cs" Inherits="HRscapeLite.Global"
Language="C#" %>
only so I am assuming that the code is in the DLL.

Any help/suggestions is greatly appreciated.

Do you have the code that appears in the Application_Error handler in
global.asax?
If it calls Server.ClearError this will prevent display of the error page.
You might want to post the actual code if you have it. if not, use Reflector
to decompile it out and examine.

I did some more digging. Here is the actual code:

protected void Application_Error(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Exception objErr = new Exception();
objErr = Server.GetLastError().GetBaseException();

int EventID = 62300;
string err = "Error In: " + Request.Url.ToString() + "\r\n"
+ "Error Source: " + objErr.Source.ToString() + "\r\n"
+ "Error Message: " + objErr.Message.ToString() + "\r\n"
+ "Stack Trace: " + objErr.StackTrace.ToString() + "\r\n";

System.Diagnostics.EventLog.WriteEntry("MyApp", err,
System.Diagnostics.EventLogEntryType.Error, EventID);

Server.ClearError();

MailMessage mailMsg = new MailMessage();
mailMsg.From = new MailAddress("(e-mail address removed)");
mailMsg.To.Add("(e-mail address removed)");
mailMsg.Subject = "Event ID " + EventID.ToString()
+ " in Application MyApp";
mailMsg.Body = err;
SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient("smtp.XXXX.com");
smtp.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(
"UID", "PWD");
smtp.EnableSsl = true;
smtp.Send(mailMsg);

Response.Write("An error occured in the MyApp. "
+ "An e-mail alert was sent to support staff. "
+ "Please quote EVENT ID: " + EventID.ToString()
+ " when following up with customer support");

}

When I commented out:
System.Diagnostics.EventLog.WriteEntry("MyApp", err,
System.Diagnostics.EventLogEntryType.Error, EventID);
The email message was sent out. off course the event was not logged. So I am
assuming here that this boils down to a rights problem. so I reactivated
writing to the event log and gave ASPNET user Administrator priviledges. That
did not work.

Any Suggestions?
