Application_Start not being hit in ASP.NET web app

Question

I\'m trying to debug something in the global.asax.cs file in an ASP.NET web app and have set a breakpoint in the Application_Start() event however that event is not getting

Answer 1

If i remember correctly, Application_Start runs before the debugger can hook up to the application.

Try doing something else to check if the Application_Start method runs, like setting an application variable:

Application("app") = "started"

Then display the application variable in the page to see if it was set.
