404 Custom Error Messages

[imnotso]

I want to catch 404 page not found errors in my C# ASP.net 2.0 website. So I put........... <customErrors mode="On" defaultRedirect="UnexpectedError.aspx"> <error statusCode="404" redirect="PageNotFound.aspx"/> </customErrors> in my web config file, great. If I change the URL in the browser from www.mysite.homepage.aspx to www.mysite.omepage.aspx my pagenotfound page displays. whats the problem?? If i change it to www.mysite.homepage.spx I get a standard 404 error but no custom page, is this not a real 404? Any clues?? Harvey

This is in the application web.config processed by ASP.NET. Hence 404s that can be trapped from within the application which are ASP.NET parseable files alone get through this filter. Everything else passes through the standard IIS 404 filter, which you may need to configure or have all requests routed through ASP.NET, which might increase the load on ASP.NET.
