I would like to know if there is a way to on a user control , if an Exception is thrown if it is possible to instead of showing an error page for the page to continue loading but show a Message in the place of where the user control is supposed to be

What I am attempting is a little bit more complex than try catch, this has to be generic for all un-handled exceptions, so if for instance a data-source control lost connection to a database. I also know about global error handling in gobal.asax , but I am aiming to individually handle errors on individual user controls.

If I understood your question correctly, you may use "Try-Catch" block to catch your Exception and then display appropriate message to End-User.

Have a look at below link for more information.

Yes, there is a way. It's called Exception Handling. You write code to handle the Exceptions that may be thrown and display a message.

Yes we all know try catch ... and so on , what I am attempting is a little bit more complex, this has to be generic for all unhandled exceptions, so if for instance a datasource lost connection to a database.

I also know about global error handling in gobal.asax , but still I am aiming for something more elegant.

The better you explain yourself initially the better the answers may be.

If you only want to handle exceptions in your user control then use the try/catch you are familiar with. If you want generic, then the global.asax is the place to put it. If you want your user control to handle all exceptions on a page then its not going to happen.

try catch is coding 101, but yes in future i will explain my problem better.

And no i don't ant my user control to handle all error on a page , as explained i only want to suppress errors on a user control individually.
