ASP GetLastError() Method (ASP 3.0)
❮ Complete Server Object Reference
The GetLastError method returns an ASPError object that describes the error condition that occurred.
By default, a Web site uses the file \iishelp\common\500-100.asp for processing ASP errors. You can either use this file, or create your own. If you want to change the ASP file for processing the 500;100 custom errors you can use the IIS snap-in.
Note: A 500;100 custom error will be generated if IIS encounters an error while processing either an ASP file or the application's Global.asa file.
Note: This method is available only before the ASP file has sent any content to the browser.
Syntax
Server.GetLastError()
Examples
Example 1
In the example an error will occur when IIS tries to include the file, because the include statement is missing the file parameter:
<!--#include f="header.inc" -->
<%
response.write("sometext")
%>
Example 2
In this example an error will occur when compiling the script, because the "next" keyword is missing:
<%
dim i
for i=1 to 10
........
nxt
%>
Example 3
In this example an error will occur because the script attempts to divide by 0:
<%
dim i,tot,j
i=0
tot=0
j=0
for i=1 to 10
tot=tot+1
next
tot=tot/j
%>
