Show custom error page in MVC 3 doesn't work!

I set custom error enable in Web.config:

<customErrors mode="On"/>

and, in Application_Start, put these:

protected void Application_Error(object sender, EventArgs e) {

    var ex = Server.GetLastError().GetBaseException();

    var routeData = new RouteData();

    if (ex.GetType() == typeof(HttpException)) {
        var httpException = (HttpException)ex;
        var code = httpException.GetHttpCode();
        routeData.Values.Add("status", code);
    } else {
        routeData.Values.Add("status", -1);
    }

    routeData.Values.Add("action", "Index");
    routeData.Values.Add("controller", "Error");
    routeData.Values.Add("error", ex);

    IController errorController = new Kavand.Web.Controllers.ErrorController();
    errorController.Execute(new RequestContext(new HttpContextWrapper(Context), routeData));
}

also I create an error controller like this:

public class ErrorController : Kavand.Web.Mvc.Kontroller
{
    public ActionResult  Index(int status, Exception error) {
        Response.StatusCode = status;
        HttpStatusCode statuscode = (HttpStatusCode)status;
        return View(statuscode);
    }
}

but, when an error occurred, the yellow-page shown, instead of my custom view! can everybody help me please?! Thanks a lot, regards

Don't forget to clear the error in Application_Error after fetching it:

protected void Application_Error(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    var ex = Server.GetLastError().GetBaseException();
    Server.ClearError(); // <-- that's what you are missing
    var routeData = new RouteData();
    ...
}

Also it is important to remove the HandleErrorAttribute global attribute which is added in the RegisterGlobalFilters static method in Global.asax as you no longer need it.
