Re: web.config - custom excption handling.

Well, I'm not familiar with the Exception App Block, but in ASP.NET you can
write a single bit of code for the entire application that will be notified
of unhandled exceptions. It's perfect for logging when your application
experiences a failure.

So, in global.asax:

void Application_Error(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   Exception ex = HttpContext.Current.Error;
   if (ex is HttpUnhandledException)
   {
      // The Excpetion was from the application (as opposed to something
from ASP.NET)
      ex = ex.InnerException;
   }

   // At this point, ex is the Exception that was the problem
   // ...
}

Once you have 'ex' from above, then you can write it to a log file, or the
event log, email to someone... Whatever. This is the typical pattern in
ASP.NET for tracking unexpected errors.
