Unhandled Exceptions with Global.asax

Question

I am emailing unhandled exception details from global.asax. How can I get the path and/or filename of the aspx file or assembly file where an exception was not handled.

This info was showing up in the exception's stack trace when I was developing & testing. When I deployed the global.asax to production, this info is no longer showing up in the stack trace.

Is there a way to get to this info while I build my MailMessage object in Global.asax?

Thanks

If this is a ASP.NET application, which the tag suggest it is, you should be able to do something like this... The ctx.Request.Url.ToString() would give you the file name of where the error occurred.

protected void Application_Error(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    MailMessage msg = new MailMessage();
    HttpContext ctx = HttpContext.Current;

    msg.To.Add(new MailAddress("[email protected]"));
    msg.From = new MailAddress("[email protected]");
    msg.Subject = "My app had an issue...";
    msg.Priority = MailPriority.High;

    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
    sb.Append(ctx.Request.Url.ToString() + System.Environment.NewLine);
    sb.Append("Source:" + System.Environment.NewLine + ctx.Server.GetLastError().Source.ToString());
    sb.Append("Message:" + System.Environment.NewLine + ctx.Server.GetLastError().Message.ToString());
    sb.Append("Stack Trace:" + System.Environment.NewLine + ctx.Server.GetLastError().StackTrace.ToString());
    msg.Body = sb.ToString();

    //CONFIGURE SMTP OBJECT
    SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient("myhost");

    //SEND EMAIL
    smtp.Send(msg);

    //REDIRECT USER TO ERROR PAGE
    Server.Transfer("~/ErrorPage.aspx");
}
