application-start

... will the Application_Start method be ran again for the next request(s) or not? Does it depend on ASP.NET version, hosting server version and/or other context? I am trying to determine if it's a good thing to load critical assemblies there or not. For example data access assemblies which are vital to the functioning of the whole application or not. Failure to load such assembly would make subsequent requests useless. Application_Start will be fired only once for each web application so in your case, the start will not happen again for subsequent requests. Typically, I prefer to put one time

Could you provide example of JavaScript function for starting up application installed on your computer from a web browser (eg google chrome 4).

can anyone suggest how to configure the log4net for an console app? Or at least how/where to catch the Application_Start event? (It seams that some calls are required at this moment) Thanks in advance! Joe You need to configure it before the first logger is instantiated. To do so: Your main class (Program.cs) should not have a logger The main method should not reference any classes that have a logger. You can then configure log4net in the main method. Alternatively you can use a wrapper class to instantiate loggers, that ensures log4net is configured before creating a logger, e.g.: static

If get this from the Microsoft official documentation : The Application_Start and Application_End methods are special methods that do not represent HttpApplication events. ASP.NET calls them once for the lifetime of the application domain, not for each HttpApplication instance. I was sure that Application_Start was related to the HttpApplication, here this guy explains why I was wrong. Which object/entity is related to the Application_Start event? As the documentation says, the events are linked to the lifetime of the application domain , which in practice means the app pool which the

I need to use Server.MapPath() to combine some files path that I store in the web.config . However, since Server.MapPath() relies on the current HttpContext (I think), I am unable to do this. When trying to use the method, even though its "available", I get the following exception: Server operation is not available in this context. Is there another method that can map a web root relative directory such as ~/App_Data/ to the full physical path such as C:\inetpub\wwwroot\project\App_data\ ? You could try System.Web.Hosting.HostingEnvironment.MapPath() . No HttpContext required. Kiran Banda Use

I am debugging an ASP.NET 2.0 application that is suffering from slow loading of the initial page. Through adding logging, I've found that the Application_Start event fires twice on startup with a short delay between the two events. The Session_Start event also fires twice, with the same Session ID value. e.g. [Header] 2010-09-10 14:52:36.331 INFO Web.Global.Application_Start START 2010-09-10 14:52:37.409 INFO Web.Global.Session_Start Session.SessionID=xxqjvun2ce2yqsumq1hfoj45 [Header] 2010-09-10 14:53:10.028 INFO Web.Global.Application_Start START 2010-09-10 14:53:10.325 INFO Web.Global

I'm just starting to get my feet wet learning the technical details of Azure, so apologies if this is a silly question. If I create a cloud service project in visual studio and add a webrole for an mvc application, within the mvc application I can see the "WebRole.cs" file. However, when I start with an MVC application as the starting point, and later want to enable it for Azure, by right clicking on the project and selecting "Add Windows Azure Cloud Service Project", no WebRole.cs is created. So where would I go to make things happen on the start event of the WebRole? The Application_Start()
