From what page was the message posted to the log?

When writing to a log within ASP.NET, it is very useful to output to the log not just a message such as error test, but where it is being reported.

The function GetPage called as

GetPage(Me.Request.FilePath) & ":" & strSql

prepends the name of the form.

Code: 

Function GetPage(Byval sPagePath As String) As String 
'Purpose: 
' Get Page path 
'Notes: 
' Call as GetPage(Me.Request.FilePath) 
Dim iFind As Integer 
  iFind = InstrRev(sPagePath,"/",-1, CompareMethod.Text) 
  If iFind > 0 Then         
    Return Mid$(sPagePath, iFind + 1) 
  Else 
   Return sPagePath 
  End If 
End Function
