Asp.NET MVC 5 error login with ELMAH - An artist's personal website

Today i am showing you the coolest way to logging ASP.NET mvc login with ELMAH. I am using visual studio 2013

1.Lets Create a Project Name ElmahMvc

2.Install nuget package nuget

Install-Package Elmah.MVC
3. Raise an Exception .There you go access error log by your local url/elmah

http://localhost:20351/elmah

The saving database and Emailing is bit of configuration to take ….

Lets look at it

1.Download ELMAH script form official site

ELMAH

2.add a database named log and run the script

3.add a connection string in web.config

      <connectionStrings>
        <add name="elmah" connectionString="Data Source=.;Initial Catalog=log;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=sa;Password=pass" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
      </connectionStrings>

</connectionStrings>

4.Add a elmah element in web.config

<elmah>
        <errorLog type="Elmah.SqlErrorLog, Elmah" connectionStringName="elmah" /> 
       <!--For Addtional Mail Config .Remove it if not need for mail on every error-->
        <errorMail from="waltoncrm@waltonbd.com"
               to="mrahman.cse32@waltonbd.com"
                 
               subject="Application Exception"
               async="false"
               smtpPort="25"
               smtpServer="YourServer"
               userName="uName"
               password="pass">
        </errorMail>
      </elmah>

<elmah>

<errorMail from="waltoncrm@waltonbd.com"

to="mrahman.cse32@waltonbd.com"

subject="Application Exception"

async="false"

smtpPort="25"

smtpServer="YourServer"

userName="uName"

password="pass">

</errorMail>

</elmah>

and mail additional under System.WebServer

    <system.net>
        <mailSettings>
          <smtp deliveryMethod ="Network">
            <network host="smtp.gmail.com" port="587" userName="yourgmailEmailAddress"   password="yourGmailEmailPassword" />
          </smtp>
        </mailSettings>
      </system.net>

<system.net>

</smtp>

</mailSettings>

</system.net>

Download my sample project and Elmah script with Visual Studio 2013
Download ELMAH MVC

Note:if you donot want to crash your program or use it in asp.net web form Static [WebMethod]
This seems perfect

    try 
    {
        //some web method code 
    }
    catch(Exception ex)
    {
        Elmah.ErrorSignal.FromCurrentContext().Raise(ex);
    }

try

{

//some web method code

}

catch(Exception ex)

{

Elmah.ErrorSignal.FromCurrentContext().Raise(ex);

}
