How to detect if the current application pool is winding up in IIS7.5 and Asp.Net 3.5+

Question

Well - exactly as the question subject states - any ideas on how you might do this?

I\'ve been looking over the objects in System.Web.Hosting but nothing is standing

Answer 1

You can check the value of System.Web.Hosting.HostingEnvironment.ShutdownReason, when the app pool is not in the process of closing / recycling it will have the ShutdownReason of None.
