Gets or sets a value indicating whether "access denied" exceptions within page requests are caught and handled by Windows SharePoint Services 3.0.
Namespace: Microsoft.SharePoint
Assembly: Microsoft.SharePoint (in microsoft.sharepoint.dll)
Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Shared Property CatchAccessDeniedException As Boolean
Dim value As Boolean
value = SPSecurity.CatchAccessDeniedException
SPSecurity.CatchAccessDeniedException = value
public static bool CatchAccessDeniedException { get; set; }
Property Value
true if the exceptions are handled by Windows SharePoint Services 3.0; otherwise, false. The default is true.
If set to true, access denied exceptions inside page requests are explicitly handled by the platform. For example, when Forms-based authentication is used, anonymous users are redirected to the login page. If the user is already authenticated, he may be redirected to an error message page such as _layouts/AccessDenied.aspx.
If you want to handle access denied exceptions with your own code, you should save the original value in a variable. Set CatchAccessDeniedException to false just before the beginning of your try block. At the end of your code, restore the original value in a finally block, so that other pieces in the system still behave the same way.
This example shows how to save and then restore the value of CatchAccessDeniedException.
bool originalCatchValue = SPSecurity.CatchAccessDeniedException;SPSecurity.CatchAccessDeniedException = false;
try
{
// details omitted
}
finally
{
SPSecurity.CatchAccessDeniedException = originalCatchValue;
}
