Application_Start in global.asax

If I create Application_Start in the global.asax, will it be executed or ignored?
I am wanting to extend my mojoportal app to utilize "Dynamic Data" (part of .Net 3.5 SP1).
The main point of failure I have run into with integrating use of Dynamic Data into some other apps has been when there has been an "Inherits=" in the global.asax AND the app was not coded to utilize code within 'Application_Start' in the global.asax.
Would I need to modify mojoportal source to get something added to 'Application_Start' ?

Re: Application_Start in global.asax

You should not modify any mojoPortal code.

Do some searching about implementing a custom HttpModule. You can compile it into your own dll and configure it in the httpmodules section of Web.config. From inside an HttpModule you can respond to Application_Start.

There are examples of various custom HttpModules in the Web/Components folder of the source code includin CultureHelpHttpModule.cs, AuthHandlerHttpModule, BannedIPBlockingHttpModule.cs

You would put yours in a custom class library project. You can discover how the above modules are plugged in by studying the Web.config and learn how to plug yours in similarly.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Re: Application_Start in global.asax

Joe,

Thank you VERY much for taking the time to answer a question that is admittedly not MojoPortal-specific.

VERY thankfully,
Gary
