What are the different approaches to handle or show errors?

try / catch is always good.

You also have Application_Error so you can trap any errors you missed log them and redirect the user to a "better" error page

Answer 3

ELMAH: Error Logging Modules and Handlers for ASP.NET

ELMAH (Error Logging Modules and Handlers) is an application-wide error logging facility that is completely pluggable. It can be dynamically added to a running ASP.NET web application, or even all ASP.NET web applications on a machine, without any need for re-compilation or re-deployment.

Once ELMAH has been dropped into a running web application and configured appropriately, you get the following facilities without changing a single line of your code:

* Logging of nearly all unhandled exceptions.
* A web page to remotely view the entire log of recoded exceptions.
* A web page to remotely view the full details of any one logged exception.
* In many cases, you can review the original yellow screen of death that 
  ASP.NET generated for a given exception, even with customErrors mode 
  turned off.
* An e-mail notification of each error at the time it occurs.
* An RSS feed of the last 15 errors from the log.

Also theres an article from Scott Hanselman on ELMAH
