We need to customize an error page inSQL Server reporting services 2005. Currently the error page comes up as Reporting Services Error ....error desc. However, for a particular type of error, we would like to customize the page with a more user friendly one.
Any idea on how to do this??

Hi

what you can do is create a error handler and track as you wish with the error numbers and messages, for example take a look at the code which is a sample one,

1) First try to open the report within the try catch block like

try

{

.....do something here;

}

catch(Exception ex)

{

MyHnadler.ErrorHandler(ex);

}

finally{}

in another class add the code like this

public class MyHandler

{

if you want to have do some coding in cunstructor....

public static void ErrorHandler(Exception ex)

{

string exceptionText;

if(ex is SoapException)

{

exceptionText = ((SoapException)ex).Detail["Message"].InnerXml;

}

else

{

exceptionText = ex.Message;

}

MessageBox.Show("An exception has occurred: " + exceptionText,

"Application Error");

}

Hope this will clarify you and start implementing this in your code as you like .

Have a good day

Any way to redirect from the report server website (viewer)?

I'm using a third party application that opens up a browser window with the report url.

I would like that window to display a custom error page is the SSRS is not availabe, service not running or in deployment.
