Web Application Startup and Shutdown

[Serge Lobko Lobanovsky]

Hello, Can anybody give me a hint or a link to an article on how to intercept ASP.NET application startup and shutdown to process some specific stuff that must occur only at these times? Thanx in advance, Regards, Serge

Overriden Application_Start and Application_End in your glocal.ascx.cs files. Mazy No sig. available now.

thanx... it was really a silly question, i know about this stuff from ASP time, but i wasnt able to find any info about it in MSDN which ships with VS.NET, only references to ASP pages :( Regards, Serge (Logic Software)

I am not sure exactly what you mean, but in the global.asax file you have the following functions (VB.NET) Sub Application_Start(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) ' Fires when the application is started End Sub Sub Session_Start(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) ' Fires when the session is started End Sub Sub Application_BeginRequest(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) ' Fires at the beginning of each request End Sub Sub Application_AuthenticateRequest(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) ' Fires upon attempting to authenticate the use End Sub Sub Application_Error(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) ' Fires when an error occurs End Sub Sub Session_End(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) ' Fires when the session ends End Sub Sub Application_End(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) ' Fires when the application ends End Sub Application_Start and Application_End maybe the functions that you are looking for.
