Custom Membership Provider - Catching Exceptions

NewsBot · March 30, 2008

Hi,

I am writing a custom membership provider using C# in .Net and I have

been trying to catch exceptions raised by my custom membership

provider class in my aspx page. I have already written a custom

membership class, which throws an exception. I am throwing the same

exception in the catch block of the custom class thinking that it

would be caught by the .aspx page.

Since I am using login control, shipped with VS 2005, for

authentication, I would like to understand how these exceptions can

be

caught with in the .aspx page. Specifically, I would like to know

which process invokes ValidateUser method of my custom class. This

custom class is an implementation of an abstract class named

"Membership" class. I don't remember the exact name of the abstract

class as the source code is not accessible to me at this point in

time.

To add to the info above, I have the custom membership provider in a

separate project which is ofcourse part of the same solution as my

web

app where I am trying to catch the exceptions.

If possible, please revert back at the earliest. If there's any

clarification reqd abt this scenario, please do let me know.

Thanks,

--Sunny
