global-asax

I'm using MVC2 and VS2010 developing a website and need to use Application State global values. I can set a value like 'Application["hits"]=0;' in Global.asax but when trying to use the same in an MVC controller always get the following error: The name 'Application' does not exist in the current context I have also tried using in the Global.asax in order to define a global variable but it triggers the following error: A namespace cannot directly contain members such as fields or methods I'm looking for a way to define global Application State values that are available within all controllers of

I want to use a custom route in my global.asax with response.redirecttoroute but it is not working. I have the following in my RouteConfig: routes.MapRoute( name: "Error", url: "Error/{action}/{excep}", defaults: new { action = "Index", excep = UrlParameter.Optional } ); And in my global.asax I do the following: Response.RedirectToRoute("Error", new { action="Index", excep=ex.Message }); In my ErrorController I have: public ActionResult Index(string excep) { ViewBag.Exception = excep; return View(); } And in my Index view for the error I call the ViewBag.Exception to show the exception. When I

Hai guys, My website has thousands of users... I have implemented a background task of sending mails to every user once a day ... I followed this link to do this... http://www.codeproject.com/KB/aspnet/ASPNETService.aspx My question is will Application_Start() will be fired for every user hitting my website... If so every user will be receiving a n number of mails daily so i want to avoid it... 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

(See question below for more context): Are there any situations in which <machineKey validationKey="AutoGenerate,IsolateApps" decryptionKey="AutoGenerate,IsolateApps"/> in web.config would fail to AutoGenerate a new machineKey on App Pool recycle? This is the behavior I'm seeing... I'm using standard ASP.NET FormsAuthentication in an MVC app. If I log a user in using FormsAuthentication.GetAuthCookie and don't use a persistent cookie (relying on the browser's session to remember my authorized state), I would expect recycling the IIS App Pool to invalidate the session's knowledge of this cookie

I am getting a 'session state not available in this context' error. The error is nested in the sender parameter of a number of methods within the Global.asax file: Application_BeginRequest Application_AuthenticateRequest Session_Start Application_Error The error happens on the very first page load (and all page loads thereafter). I've added a completely new and empty page, WebForm1.aspx, to the project and made it my start page. You'd think nothing could go wrong on an empty page . No code of mine is executed, as far as I can see, when loading an empty page. But I'm still getting the session

I have created an error page to show a general message for all unhandled exceptions. This is the code in Global.asax HttpContext ctx = HttpContext.Current; string e404_PAGE = ctx.Request.AppRelativeCurrentExecutionFilePath.ToString(); string e404_LINE = ctx.Server.GetLastError().InnerException.StackTrace.Substring(ctx.Server.GetLastError().InnerException.StackTrace.LastIndexOf(":line ") + 6, ctx.Server.GetLastError().InnerException.StackTrace.Substring(ctx.Server.GetLastError().InnerException.StackTrace.LastIndexOf(":line ") + 6).IndexOf(" ")).ToString(); string e404_MESSAGE = ctx.Server

I don't have a Global Application class code-behind any more inside my installed templates. All I have is Global.asax. I find more comfortable working with Global.asax.cs . Why am I not seeing it anymore? How to re-create Global.asax.cs? That's because you created a Web Site instead of a Web Application. I would recommend you using a precomipled Web Application model but if you need to use a Web Site you could do the following: ~/Global.asax : <%@ Application CodeFile="Global.asax.cs" Inherits="AppName.MyApplication" Language="C#" %> ~/Global.asax.cs : namespace AppName { public partial class
