Global.asax does not fire method when loading static pages

18 New Member
Hi Everyone,

I have encountered this problem that I am not able to figure out. Please drop me some lines if you have any idea how to solve this issue. I have a global.asax file in my web site. It works fine as I wanted when loading aspx file; however, I have some static page in the same directory such as html and htm page. These page also load correctly and the global.asax file does fire when executing my .net development environment. However, when move these contents my an IIS (hosting server), the static pages (htm and html) does not trigger the global.asax file. Anyone know what's going on? Why doesn't static pages trigger global.asax methods? (dynamic pages still work fine )


Thanks,

Global.asax is meant to manage your web application. Your web application being a bunch of aspx pages that work together to accomplish something. It does not monitor static html pages.

I have moved your question to the .NET forum; however, this may be an IIS question (and may have to be moved again).

There is a way to configure your IIS to treat your static pages as custom error pages if that is your requirement.

Please post your .NET questions in the .NET forum in the future. The ASP forum is dedicated to classic ASP questions.

I need to be able to trap errors at the application level. I added this code to the Global.asax file. The code I wrote is supposed to get the last error that was generated and write to the event log as well as fire up my email class and generate an email to send me the error. But no matter what I do, I still get the icky looking yellow and white error screens. I’ve turned on customErrors in the web.config but not default URL setting....

When I wrote websites in VB .NET, I would often put functions in Global for all the pages to call. Now, in C#, doing so results in "references to non-static objects" and whatnot. I realize what that means and all, but what I'm wondering is what's the best way around it? Say, for example, I want a function that takes a username and a password and returns true or false if it's a successful login, and I want any page or usercontrol in the...

Hi, I load my website settings inside the global.asax file. For this I have to use the context, to get the roles from the current browsing client. The problem is that there is no context at that time. (no reference) When I add these code lines (from global.asax) inside an aspx file, then it works. Because there is a context.

Hi, I use form authentication for my asp.net 2.0 webapplication. When a user request a page it must first load some settings. These settings will be placed inside the context.items. I can add this method in all pages but that is not what I want. Easier will be one declaration... This loading happens inside the global.asax file. This way it loads automaticly the settings, no matter what page the user request. This is what

Hi. I'm in the process of moving an application from ASP to ASP.NET, & I'm writing in VB, using VS.NET. I'm new to the .NET framework & have a basic question regarding static objects defined in global.asax. In the global.asax file I want to declare some static objects (like an ADODB.Connection, an ADODB.Recordset, a Scripting.FileSystemObject...), and so I've done so using object tags. For example I have:

I would like to access variables and functions that I declare in the Global.asax.vb file. However, I am having trouble doing that. What does the declaration have to look like in the Global.asax.vb file, and what would I do to access it?

I've got a problem with an app I've been working on, the Caching object and events not firing correctly. In a nutshell: When I'm debugging, and I set a breakpoint in the removed item call back, the code works correctly. If there is no debugger it doesn't fire, which causes the app to have problems.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
