Get url of page on which the error page was clicked in asp.net

I am not sure if this is possible but I have a requirement so had to ask!

I am handling errors/exceptions in Application_Error event in Global.asax.

This is working fine and I am able to get the url in which the error occurred.

I would like to get the page on which this url resided clicking of which in turn gave me this error. You can say 1 level up.

So, for example I have a page say www.example.com/home-loans.aspx on which there is a link which opens www.example.com/problem-url.aspx. Which I click this link www.example.com/problem-url.aspx throws an error and I am able to correctly catch this along with the url www.example.com/problem-url.aspx but I am not able to figure how to capture www.example.com/home-loans.aspx.

If the link is clicked from outside the website (say from a google search) then this value can come as null or whatever is possible.

Please let me know if you need the code for Application_Error event in Global.asax.

Please help!

Thanks in advance!

You may want to consider using the UrlReferrer property:

Request.UrlReferrer

This will give you the URL in the Refered header.

However, the header may or may not always be available.
