Custom 404 error pages

I cannot seem to get my application's custom 404 page to work properly after deployment to Apphb.

If I have this in my web.config:

  <error statusCode="404" redirect="/Error/PageNotFound"/>
</customErrors>

and let's say I do this in code:

throw new HttpException((int)HttpStatusCode.NotFound, "Page not found.");

Then my custom error page should appear. This is the behaviour on my local IIS, and in every shared host I've ever deployed to.

However, here on AppHb, I keep getting the ASP.NET 404 whitescreen (not the IIS one, mind you), when again, I am expecting to get the custom redirect.

Any explanation for this?

   Sorry guys, closing the discussion. I'm such a dork. Screwed up the Web.Release.config transform. In my defense, it's very late here. ;)

   That's cool, glad you worked it out. Remember that we have a web.config transform tester to help you debug the transform files.
