app starting method

[David Thielen]

Hi;

Is there a way to have a method called when my ASP (2.0) app is first
loaded, before any pages are loaded?

The global.asax's or HttpModules Application_start is the earliest method
you can hook into.

Thanks for Karl's informative inputs.

Hi Dave,

As Karl has mentioned, you can consider using the Application_Start event
of the Global.asax. Also, this event get fired when an ASP.NET
application's appdomain has been initialized and begin to process requests.
However, since this event is fired only once per application, and it is not
page or foreground UI specific, we should not put any page or request or
front UI specific code in it.

Hi;

I understand. I use this to initialize our reporting engine - before any
page request comes in.

Hi;

Every time I make a change in Global.asax then when I try to build I get the
error message:
Validating Web Site
/: Build (web): Attempted to access an unloaded AppDomain.

I have to exit and restart VS2005 to get this to stop.

Any idea what's going on?

Hi;

And more - if I write some code that won't compile, then after I fix it it
sticks with the old error message until again, I exit and restart VS2005.

After we change global.asax file's code , web.config , the ASP.NET
application's appdomain may get restarted, maybe some code is accessing
some field in the original domain. I suggest you try manually stop the test
webserver(if you're using VS 2005 test server to run the app), then perform
rebuild the website and run it again to see whether it helps.
