Capturing last error in Global.asax

[Guest]

I've added code to capture the last error (Dim ex As Exception =
Server.GetLastError() ) in the Application_Error sub. And I log the error in
a database. Unfortunately all that seems to be captured is a
System.Web.HttpUnhandledException exception. In the test case i'm using it
should be reporting System.IO.FileNotFoundException. Any ideas why i'm not
getting the correct exception?

Thanks in advance.

By the time the exception gets up to Application_exception, it gets
rebundled as an UnhandledException...you can get the original exception via
Server.GetLastError().InnerException
