ASP.NET Session_OnStart event not firing

[femina]

I am trying to work out an example in ASP.NET
i have problem with the session_onstart in the global.asax file
the "UsersOnline" doesnt get updated when i request the webpage again(if iam wrong) or in another browser please help me with the reason and let me have a clear idea on when exactly my session_onstart() will happen
my sample code follows

<%@ Application Language="C#" %>
 
<script runat="server">
 
    void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e) 
    {
        // Code that runs on application startup
        Application["UsersOnline"] = 0;
    }
 
    void Application_End(object sender, EventArgs e) 
    {
        //  Code that runs on application shutdown
 
    }
 
    void Application_Error(object sender, EventArgs e) 
    { 
        // Code that runs when an unhandled error occurs
 
    }
 
    void Session_Start(object sender, EventArgs e) 
    {
        // Code that runs when a new session is started
        Application.Lock();
        Application["UsersOnline"] = (int)Application["UsersOnline"] + 1;
        Application.UnLock();
    }
 
    void Session_End(object sender, EventArgs e) 
    {
        // Code that runs when a session ends. 
        // Note: The Session_End event is raised only when the sessionstate mode
        // is set to InProc in the Web.config file. If session mode is set to StateServer 
     // or SQLServer, the event is not raised.
        Application.Lock();
        Application["UsersOnline"] = (int)Application["UsersOnline"] - 1;
        Application.UnLock();
    }
 
</script>

Hi femina

You've posted your question in the ASP Forum which is for Classic ASP only - I've moved it for you but in future please post all ASP.NET questions in the .NET Forum.

Thanks,

Dr B

EDIT: I've just deleted the other post that you made in the .NET Forum - please don't double post your questions, even if you are not sure which forum they are supposed to go in. If you are in any doubt then just say so at the beginning of your post and a Moderator will be happy to move it for you.

Have you tried stepping through your code using a debugger to see what's happening?
