Note: I had gone through all the related links on StackOverflow.

Please post some code how you use the custom error attribute. And note that by default the attribute load the default error.aspx view. So be sure you don't have delete it. — sra

Step by step:

Create a new ASP.NET MVC project using the default visual Studio wizard

Modify the HomeController so that it looks like this:

[HandleError]
public class HomeController : Controller
{
    public ActionResult Index()
    {
        throw new Exception("oops");
    }
}

Add the following to the <system.web> section of web.config:
```
<customErrors mode="On" />
```
Run the application
As expected the ~/Views/Shared/Error.aspx is shown
