How to redirect from global.asax

[Guest]

Hi,

When my web application starts I want to create some instances, if an
exception is raisen I want to show a specific page instead of the main page.
How can I transfer the execution to a new page?

using Server.Transfer doesn't work cause I don't have a page yet.

Thanks in advance

Hi,
Handle the application error in the Application_Error event.
Add the following code
this.Context.Response.Write(@"<script language='javascript'>window.parent.location.href = '" + <Page to redirect> + "'</script>");

Regards,

I use System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.Redirect("new page.aspx" );

The Request and Response objects are not available in the
Application_OnStart. So, I'm not sure who you would "show a specific page"
TO. I'm thinking that maybe you want to use Session_OnStart instead.
However, be aware that this will run every time a new user Session starts
(every time a new user logs into your app).
