The SoCal Code Camp San Diego happens on the last weekend of this month, June 28th and 29th. We have sponsored all the SoCal Code Camps going back many, many years. They’re local events to us, organized by local user groups and attended by local developers, so we’re always happy to offer our support.
We previously sponsored these events as DiscountASP.NET. This year, for the very first time, we’ll be sponsoring under the new Everleap banner. And we’re very excited to introduce our new cloud service at the event!
There are two primary reasons to configure your website to use ASP.NET Custom Errors. The first being to provide your end users with a polished experience, even when things don’t go as expected. Nothing says “this site was slapped together” more than the generic 404 page issued by IIS or the 500 series yellow screen of death the ASP.NET Engine generates.
There are also security concerns when rendering verbose error messages to your users browser. There is no need for the world to know anything about the inner workings of your application. In fact if your website does expose verbose error data, you likely will not have a shot at becoming PCI compliant.
