When initial request comes in and no connection string is configured, the Global.aspx redirects user to the SqlPatch.aspx. I need to intercept this condition and redirect to my custom handler. So I modified Global.aspx to look like this

If runSql Then
runSql = False
redirectedForSqlUpdate = True
Response.Redirect("~/ChngStore.aspx", True)
End If

however, I have an issue. When SqlPatch.aspx loads, it does not involve any theme files or anything. Very simple page load. When I try to load my handler, suddenly I see some other files trying to load E:\Projects\Resposio\Bvc 2013.0.1.301\www\BVModules\Themes\Bvc5\Header.ascx.vb that in turn tries to load categories and fails.

What is the magic? How can I get my handler to load the same way as SqlPatch does? My page is very simple and does not include any musters. Why do I see other files try to load?


I did modify E:\Projects\Resposio\Bvc 2013.0.1.301\source\BVSoftware.Bvc5.Core\Utilities\UrlRewriter.vb
to If Not parts.Url.EndsWith("sqlpatch.aspx") And Not parts.Url.EndsWith("chngstore.aspx") Then

but I still cannot get my page just simply load without crashing just a few moments after it loads.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Resolved my issue last night. It was stupid mistake on my part. Html that I copied from old version had a reference to non existent image that triggered this.

it's all set now. Cannot believe how much time wasted on a stupid mistake!!
