Error Handling

[Brett Thim]

When using ASP-DB for handling a recordset, is there any way to display your own error message when the object fails? the object works fine until I use a query that takes too long to process, at which point i get the following error message:

aspdb error '80040e31'

Method '~' of object '~' failed

Brett,
Error handling is a weak area in ASP. However, in the ASP DEV conference, MS has announced that the next version of ASP has big improvements in this area.

Brett,

Don't forget about the dbSuppressMsg property. It allows you to turn off most messages and do your own reporting. Also, I believe example C7 at:
http://www.aspdb.com/examples
shows another technique where it checks the returned record count and if it isn't greater than zero, it throws a custom message up.

Check these two techniques out and see if they take care of your problems until ASP gets better error handling in the next release!
