Sets the page that is displayed when the application flags an error.  This setting is not required, and if not present in your application’s Web.config file, a default will be assumed.  You may add/edit these settings to change the locations of the various pages.

Usage:

LogCommitExceptions

If the value of this property is "all" then all database commit exceptions will be logged to the system event log (Event Viewer) as warnings.  Normally, commit exceptions are not logged because they are expected to occur in the course of normal application-user actions, and logging them in a production environment could be undesirable.  However, it is useful in a development/testing environment to have a full log of the detailed exception data for all commit failures.

Note: Only works if LogEvents = "true".

Usage:

<configuration>

     <appSettings>

          <add key=”LogCommitExceptions” value=”all” />

     </appSettings>

</configuration>

Set LogDatabaseCommands value="true" to log all database SQL commands to the system the event log.  The default value is "false" which means not to log database SQL commands.

Note:  Only works if LogEvents = "true".

LogDatabaseExceptions

If the value of this property is "all" then all database (i.e. SQL) exceptions will be logged to the Event Viewer as warnings.  Normally, most database exceptions are not logged because they are expected to occur in the course of normal application-user actions, and logging them in a production environment could be undesirable.  However, it is useful in a development/testing environment to have a full log of the detailed exception data for all database exceptions.

Note:  Only works if LogEvents = "true".

Usage:

<configuration>

     <appSettings>

          <add key=”LogDatabaseExceptions” value=”all” />

     </appSettings>

</configuration>

LogEvents

Set LogEvents value="false" to disable all logging to the system the event log.

</configuration>

<configuration>

     <appSettings>

          <add key=”WebServer” value=”http://www.mycompany.com” />

</configuration>

<configuration>

     <appSettings>

          <add key=”WebServer” value=”http://202.168.17.26” />

<add key="WebServer" value="http://yourServerName:yourPortNumber" />
