Init method?

[=?Utf-8?B?c2FtZWVydGFubmE=?=]

Hi,

I was wondering if there is any "Init method" that is called when the web
service is first deployed. I would like to initialize certain objects when
the web service is first deployed.

Any help/suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Thanks !

What do you mean, "first deployed"? How would you access these objects after
they were initialized?

I think you can use the Global.asax.

But one thing to keep aware of, Web Services like ASP.NET is generally
stateless. So take care when creating initialization logic, it can be
called anytime whenever IIS/ASP.NET feels like recycling the process.

Hi,

It will be great if you could throw some light on what you mean by
"recycling", or point me to some resource which would have the information
about it.
I would like to initialize certain static objects. Would that be advisable
using Global.asax?

Thanks,
