file upload asp.net

[Guest]

Thanks John. The code does go into the application error
event during debugging, but does not redirect the page to
the error page. i tried ALL three methods i.e.
response.redirect, server.transfer and server.execute. But
the error page is not displyed. My error page has just one
label on it which says " Error occured in file transfer" .
It still shows the DNS error page.
Please shed some light on this if u can. Thank you.

Try to catch the exception in the Application_Error event handler in
the global.asax file

Code:
=====

Dim AppEx As Exception = Server.GetLastError()
If AppEx.Message.CompareTo("Maximum request length exceeded.") = 0 Then
'this is an overlimit upload
'clear the error out
Server.ClearError()
'redirect to my error page
Response.Redirect("errorpage.aspx")
End If

Please let me know if this works for you.

Thank you,
