Global.asax and CodeFile

[Michael Tissington]

How do I specify the CodeFile for my Global.asax file ?

According to the documentation I can use the CodeFile attribute with
Application, however when I try to use this I get an error saying that it
not a valid attribute.

<%@ Application Language="C#" Inherits="SQLView.Global"
CodeFile="Global.asax.cs"%>

Hi Michael,

Welcome.
As for the "not a valid attribute." error, are you getting it in VS2005
designer at design-time rathenr than runtime? As for the ASP.NET 2.0 's
Application Global file, we're recommended not to use codebehind models
since we can direclty put code in asax file, like:
===============
<%@ Application Language="C#" %>
<script runat="server">

void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// Code that runs on application startup

}

................................
</script>
=================

So no code behind file needed. Also, when we upgrade an existing asp.net
1.x project to 2.0, the VS2005 IDE will move the codebehind into App_Code
dir and we only reference that class by "Inherits" attribute in asax file
like;

============
<%@ Application Inherits="UCTestWeb.Global" Language="C#" %>

=========

In addition, if you do want to use separate codeFile for Global.asax, it is
still possile, just clear the Global.asax file's content and add both the
correct "Inherits" and "CodeFile" attribute's value, like:

<%@ Application Language="C#" Inherits="UCTestWeb.Global"
CodeFile="Global.asax.cs"%>

The Global.asax.cs file is like:

=============
namespace UCTestWeb
{
public partial class Global : System.Web.HttpApplication
{
...............

It can run correctly at runtime no matter whether the IDE will prompt some
error or not....

Thanks,
