elmah

I really would like to integrate ELMAH into my MVC4 application but I'm having a few issues: if elmah redirects all errors to a specific error page, do I only need to return success (eg for update, delete, ...) to the user? if elmah catches all errors do i need to handle errors (e.g. use try catch blocks) in my code at all? is there a best practise example somewhere how to use ELMAH? 1) Elmah does do any redirects, so you have handle error pages yourself in web.config (hot ot do this you can look here ) 2) You should. Elmah is for logging unhandled exceptions. You can log handled exceptions

I have a MVC app where I am trying to capture all the incoming requests in a ActionFilter. Here is the logging code. I am trying to log in a fire and forget model. My issue is if I execute this code synchronously by taking out the Task.Run Elmah does send out an email. But for the code shown below I can see the error getting logged to the InMemory logger in elmah.axd but no emails. public void Log(HttpContextBase context) { Task.Run(() => { try { throw new NotImplementedException(); //simulating an error condition using (var s = _documentStore.OpenSession()) { s.Store(GetDataToLog(context)); s
