log4net log all unhandled application errors

Question

Can you point me to some tutorial or samples on how I can log all un-handled exceptions that are occurring on my mvc web app using log4net. Thank you

Answer 1

I paste below the code I use on my global.asax that seems to satisfy me for now.. I am getting all unhandled exceptions on my log4net generated log files..

    public class MvcApplication : System.Web.HttpApplication
    {

        private static readonly ILog log = LogManager.GetLogger(typeof(MvcApplication));

        void Application_Error(Object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Exception ex = Server.GetLastError().GetBaseException();

            log.Error("App_Error", ex);
        }


        public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
        {
            routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");

            routes.MapRoute(
                "Default",
                "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
                new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = "" }
            );

        }

        protected void Application_Start()
        {
            RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
            log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.Configure();

        }

    }
