Hi, I was looking for some guidance on best practices regarding error handling.

public class DemoController : Controller
{
private readonly ILogger _logger;

    public DemoController(ILogger logger)
    {
        \_logger = logger;
    }

    public ActionResult Index()
    {
        try
        {
            //Do something...
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            \_logger.Error(ex.ToString());
        }

        return View();
    }
}

I was therefore wondering if anyone would have any suggestions to improve this code? Thanks

I have looked into the SFTP, and the only way of really doing this is using 3rd party component although there are some class librarys. Would another alternative be to use SSL and ftp? ASP all the way

I have been given the task to upload a few large files in a new project. Files sizes will be no more than 200MB. I have been doing my research on the best approach to uploading these files to the server. I was just wondering if anyone out there has tried to implement something similiar and has any advice to give? Ideally I would like to split the file into seperate files to upload and then re-combine on the server. Any comments are greatly appreciated. ASP all the way

thanks for the help

I have been looking into search indexing, and its a bit out of my depth. I have searched around plenty of forums and sites looking for answers. I am trying to index my site locally so that when a user adds new content this shall get indexed along with the rest of the content. If anyone knows of any good articles or even tutorials to help me accomplish my task I would be most thankful. Once i have succeeded I will publish the results on the site so that others wishing to accomplish the task and modify the code to thier requirements may do so. Thanks
