Can not find the source of a Custom Error Page in .NET MVC5 application












0















I am recently taking over a .NET MVC5 application.



In the HomeController.cs under the ActionResult method there is the following code;



throw new Exception("Test error page");


the above line of code trigger an error page under the view director error.cshtml



My question is how the above line of code trigger the error page I looked everywhere and there is nothing that connect that line of code in the controller to the error page. Would someone tell how it works?.



I usually use the following steps to create a custom error page:




  1. Edit the web.config with <customError> tag.

  2. Add [handleError] attribute in the Controller.

  3. Add an error.cshmtl page in the shared directory under view.

          What triggered this Error.cshtml, is the global HandleErrorAttribute that is added by default in the App_StartFilterConfig.cs file when creating a new MVC project.



          The default contents of this file is:



          public class FilterConfig
          {
          public static void RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilterCollection filters)
          {
          filters.Add(new HandleErrorAttribute());
          }
          }


          Removing this HandleErrorAttribute addition will remove the search for Error.cshtml
