Why doesn't this work for me?

Have I misunderstood what this property's documentation means by "sets the error page to which the requesting browser is redirected in the event of an unhandled page exception"? My scenario: - a web application with a master page, a Default.aspx page and an Error.aspx page - Default and Error both use the master page - Default.aspx has ErrorPage="Error.aspx" in the @Page directive - the first line of Default's Page_Load method is "throw new Exception();" - the redirect to Error.aspx does not happen I have managed to catch the exception and redirect through the following separate means: 1) Attaching a handler to the Page.Error event (in Page_Load "this.Error += this.Error += new EventHandler(HandleError);") or2) Overriding Page_Error and setting AutoEventWireup to trueor 3) Overriding Application_Error in my Global.asax But none of this seems to have any relationship to Page.ErrorPage. Is this property just a container for me to save the URL of my error page? Or is there something else I need to set so that ASP.NET redirects to the page defined by this property?
