newbie: logging exceptions, how?

ASP.NET 2.0

I'm developing a ASP.NET 2.0 portal and are wondering how to implement some
kind of logging which logs all the exceptions which occur while the website
is running, So the administrator can view the log and discover problems,
like the website trying to access a page on another server, and this server
is down. Then it would be nice if problems like this could be logged!

I've looked into healthmonitoring and the EventLog class, What do you
recommend me to use? I think healthmonitroing is best but it's just that I
don't know how to use it. But I can learn :-)

Regarding healthmonitoring, this code below will of course throw an
exception. How do I know that healthmonitoring will log this error?
try{
int i = null;
int result = 100/i;
}
catch (Exception e) {
}

Best Regards!

JeffHello jeff,

U can just rethrow your errors in catch or dont use the catch, but handle
all error in Application_Error method at global.asax

Health Monitoring is just set of service methods which helps you to write
your errors to the desired source, such as eventLog, or file or send via
email

Jeff,
You may want to look at the Enterprise Library at
http://www.codeplex.com/entlib There's a loggin application block that
should do the trick for you and it's very adaptable.
