How to customize the error page in Event Receiver properties.ErrorMessage

Question

I have an item deleting and I want to redirect my user to a custom page.

or how will I modify the error page? I want to remove the links and the word "Error" and just to show a custom error message.

Thanks for this but I already tried that, but it doesnt work for the ItemDeleting, its a known bug of SharePoint.

check my other post:

http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en/sharepoint2010programming/thread/e1b2df0d-dd19-452b-a1fc-5712d68bcd3d

do you have any other method? The bug occurs only in the Delete in the Context Menu/Dropdown of an item.

However, how will I display my custom page in a modal dialog. because now, I used this

 properties.Status = SPEventReceiverStatus.CancelWithRedirectUrl;
                                       properties.RedirectUrl = properties.WebUrl + "/_layouts/CustomPage/CustomPage.aspx";

and if I used the Delete button in the ribbon I am redirected to this page (Please note that is shows the left nav and the top nav. I want this to be in a modal dialog popup.

Hello!

1. Add ItemAdding event receiver.

Check if title of new item is some code word, for example "!Redirect!" and use redirect code block if so.

2. In ItemDeleting method just cancel without redirect and create new item with title = "!Redirect!".
