ASPError Object (ASP 3.0)

The ASPError object is used to display detailed information of any error that occurs in scripts in an ASP page.

The ASPError Object

The ASPError object is implemented in ASP 3.0 and it is only available in IIS5.

The ASP Error object is used to display detailed information of any error that occurs in scripts in an ASP page. The ASPError object is created when Server.GetLastError is called, so the error information can only be accessed by using the Server.GetLastError method.

Example

<html>
<body>

<%
'The following line creates an error
dim i for i=1 to 1 next

'Call the GetLastError() method to trap the error
dim objerr
set objerr=Server.GetLastError()

'The variable objerr now contains the ASPError object
response.write("ASP Code=" & objerr.ASPCode)
response.write("<br />")
response.write("Number=" & objerr.Number)
response.write("<br />")
response.write("Source=" & objerr.Source)
response.write("<br />")
response.write("Filename=" & objerr.File)
response.write("<br />")
response.write("LineNumber=" & objerr.Line)
%>

</body>
</html>
