Next, switch to the code-behind file, and type the complete listing shown in Listing 5.3 (do not modify the Web Forms Designer generated code section, however).

You now have all the necessary code to view and clear your custom event log. When the page loads, the first thing it does is check to see if the event log exists. If not, it will make both the button used to clear the log and the data list that is used to display it invisible (thus removing it from the HTML output). After that initial check, it binds the data list to the EventLog Entries property, which contains the collection of individual entries, and then releases any unmanaged resources that may be held by the evtEM event log component. Of course, you could make this as fancy as you want by adding the Error, Warning, and Information graphics, and sorting, filtering, and paging to the data list, but I’ll leave that to your capable hands. The next step is to add a plain text file to this directory that can hold our email tem- plate. Right-click the ErrorManager directory, and select Add —> Add New Item. Then select the text file template, name it ErrorEMail.txt, and click OK. Type the following text in the file, and save it. This will be the default email that is sent to an administrator when a site failure occurs. <html> <head> <title>An Error Occurred On Your Site</title> Building the ASP.NET Error Manager 305 <style> body { font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt; } table { font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt; } </style> </head> <body> <p>A visitor encountered an error while browsing your site.

Building the Error/Denied Page This is the page that visitors will see when they attempt to access a protected resource with incorrect authorization.

Building the Error/NotFound Page This page is almost identical to the Denied page, with some minor changes in the wording in the page.
