CustomErrorsSection::DefaultRedirect Property

Gets or sets the default URL for redirection.

Namespace:  System.Web.Configuration
Assembly:  System.Web (in System.Web.dll)

[ConfigurationPropertyAttribute(L"defaultRedirect")]
public:
property String^ DefaultRedirect {
	String^ get ();
	void set (String^ value);
}

Property Value

Type: System::String
The default URL to which the application is redirected when an error occurs.

ExceptionCondition
NullReferenceException

The DefaultRedirect property is nullptr. This is the default.

If the DefaultRedirect is not specified, a standard error is displayed instead. The DefaultRedirect specifies the generic error page to activate in case no error custom page exists.

NoteNote

The URL might be an absolute or a relative value. A relative URL is relative to the Web.config file that specified the DefaultRedirect, not to the Web page in which the error occurred. A relative URL starting with a tilde (~) is relative to the root path of the application.

The following code example shows how to use the DefaultRedirect property.

Refer to the code example in the CustomErrorsSection class topic to learn how to get the section.
