Hi,

you can adjust the web.config to have it set up like this:

<system.webServer>

    <httpErrors existingResponse="PassThrough" />

</system.webServer>

Hi,

take a look at this one:

<customErrors mode="On" defaultRedirect="~/Error">
  <error redirect="~/Error/NotFound" statusCode="404" />
</customErrors>

and controller:

public class ErrorController : Controller
{
    public ViewResult Index()
    {
        return View("Error");
    }
    public ViewResult NotFound()
    {
        Response.StatusCode = 404;  //you may want to set this to 200
        return View("NotFound");
    }
}

From your original question I made up that you knew how to go for that scenario in MVC and were only wrestling with the Azure part.
