global.asax Application_Error not firing

Question

My global.asax seems not to be firing. I have:

void Application_Error(object sender, EventArgs e) 
{ 
    // Code that runs when an unhandled error occurs
    Server.Transfer("~/ExceptionFormView.aspx");
}

In my web.config, I don't have anything lie CustomErrors. As I want everything to be handled by Global.asax and transferred to ExceptionFormView.aspx.

It works fine locally, but not when we deploy to servers. Any thoughts?

Do I need PrecompiledApp.config?

In IIS7, the application pool is integrated. It needs to be classic: http://praveenbattula.blogspot.com/2009/12/iis-7-managed-pipeline-mode-globalasax.html
