MVC Custom Error handling issue

Question

I'm currently working on an MVC application. My issue is that I can't get my customerror handling to work correctly.

So essentially what happens is I throw an exception to test this in a controller. Then the application should redirect the user to ~/Shared/Errors.cshtml but for some reason it doesn't do this.

Here is the code.

Exception being thrown:

throw new Exception("Something went wrong");

Webconfig file:

<customErrors mode="RemoteOnly"/>

ErrorController Code:

  public class ErrorController : Controller
    {
        //
        // GET: /Error/
    public ActionResult Index()
    {
        return View();
    }

}

Code used in Error.cshtml:

@model System.Web.Mvc.HandleErrorInfo
@{
    Layout = "_Layout.cshtml";
    ViewBag.Title = "Error";
}
<div class="list-header clearfix">
    <span>Error</span>
</div>
<div class="list-sfs-holder">
    <div class="alert alert-error">
        An unexpected error has occurred. Please contact the system administrator.
    </div>
    @if (Model != null && HttpContext.Current.IsDebuggingEnabled)
    {
        <div>
            <p>
                <b>Exception:</b> @Model.Exception.Message<br />
                <b>Controller:</b> @Model.ControllerName<br />
                <b>Action:</b> @Model.ActionName
            </p>
            <div style="overflow:scroll">
                <pre>
                    @Model.Exception.StackTrace
                </pre>
            </div>
        </div>
    }
</div>

Thanks in advance for any help you can give

@Connor Have you used the HandleError attribute for handling the exceptions? — Venkatesh, Oct 28 '14 at 09:43

you should return view like this.

return View("~/Views/Shared/Errors.cshtml");
