Web Forms :: Global.asax Application_BeginRequest Doesn't Work On Server?
Jun 11, 2010
I want to protect one file in a subdirectory with Global.asax. (I know that this isn't the conventional way of going about this) but it works on my computer and not on the server.I have a global.asax file in my root dir and Application_BeginRequest checks if the user is requesting a particular file. If they are logged in, it allows access. If they are not logged in they are redirected to the default page.My problem is this: My code works on my personal computer but does not work on the server. Do I have to configure a setting in the web.config or adjust something on the server? Code:
Sub Application_BeginRequest(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
Dim fullOrigionalpath As String = Request.Url.ToString.ToLower
'PROTECTED FILE
If fullOrigionalpath.Contains("/uploads/groups.xls") Then
If HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated = False Then Response.Redirect("~/login.aspx")
End If
End Sub
I have a site with multiple domains pointing to it. I wanted to redirect all requests to main domain so I've created a method called RedirectToRealDomain("domain.com") to check and redirect all requests to my preferred domainAt the moment it lives on Session_Start but I am planing to move it to Application_BeginRequest event. As I understand Session_Start only raised when new session started but Application_BeginRequest raised on all requests. RedirectToRealDomain method doesn't do any DB lookups or anything expensive apart from comparing strings.
I am doing some redirecting of old url in global.asax's application_beginrequest. Redirecting works fine when getting the url's using an http get but not when using an http head request.
I've put together some code that processes XML files as they're uploaded to the server using the FileSystemWatcher for one of my clients. The XML is uploaded every hour, and the FSW watches a set directory for new files. All is well and works fine in my development environment but I'm using my clients hosting provider (www.webhostforasp.net) and when uploading a new XML file it appears that nothing is happening? It is possible that the hosting provider doesn't allow watchers or calls from the Global.asax?
What would be the best way to find out what's going on there, considering that without running the site in debug mode, I've got no way of knowing what's going on with the Global.asax or the FSW?
I copy a few web sites from iis 5 to iis 6, I declare an app pool for those sites , I copy also the global.asa file to the root folder but the iis ignore the global.asa functions
I'm using the HttpRunTime.Cache.Add to create a routine that runs every 5 mins to post data out of my app to the main DB, and this works fine. However I also need to import some files from disk in this routine. I have my document directory set up in my web.config as a ~/ relative path and resolve this in normal controller actions using Server.MapPath(string). How can I do this in my Global.asax.cs code -when I try to access it, it throws an error?
I have a custom error handler in the global.asax's Application_Error method, when an error occurs I use the following code to transfer user to the error page:Server.Transfer("/Error/");
However without specifying the actual page name the code above breaks with "Error executing child request for /Error/" exception.So if I use Server.Transfer("/Error/Default.aspx") it works fine with no problems.Also using Response.Redirect("/Error/") works fine too, however we want to keep using Server.Transfer to retain URL displayed in the address bar when the error page is displayed so users can simply refresh the page to retry accessing the original offending URL.Would be grateful if anyone can comment on how to get the Server.Transfer method working without specifying the actual aspx page name.
I've got an website running on a third-party hosting server. Now I've got a few objects in global asax. But once in like 6 hours or so (didn't really check how long) the object gets reset to default values.Is this an problem in global asax that it reset's himself or is this the server on which I'm hosting?
I am trying to create a 404 handling page but I am now stuck with the page only working for .aspx files, which isn't really what I need.I am running on IIS6.The site has a wildcard mapping,for extensionless URLs.All requests go through Application_BeginRequest in Global.asax but not all errors go through Application_Error.Is there a way where I can get the Application_Error to raise for non .aspx files?
i think this has been asked before but i just cannot figure this one out. I have added a global.asax file to my project (using asp.net with c# from vs2010) and works great on my local machine. then when i publish to our site (i publish to ftp site and then copy from the ftp folder into the site folder overwriting old files) and it doesn't work... at all. i am using 'windows server 2008 R2 Enterprise'.
I know there is a couple answered questions on here regarding "request scoped" globals, but I want to nit-pick on something specifically and maybe squeeze some extra enlightenment out of one or two of you.I have an ASP.NET C# Website and a static Dictionary of objects (loaded from DB once on Application start). Each page request will need to do a lookup in the Dictionary (based on a key derived from the request url/etc) and get the appropriate object.The issue is I'm trying to maximize efficiency by reducing the lookups to the Dictionary per Request. Doing just a single lookup within a Page itself is easy enough and I can pass the object to sub controls, etc too.. but global.asax is separate from the Page and it also needs to use the object (in Application_BeginRequest and Session_Start).
So is doing a Dictionary lookup once in Application_BeginRequest, once (when necessary) in Session_Start and once in the Page negligible speed wise, even if there are many requests coming in every second?I would like it if I could just have a Request scoped global variable that I can easily call upon.. the only one I see available though is HttpContext.Current.Items and that is a Dictionary itself.Am I beingridiculously nit-picky with my concern over efficiency? or will these milliseconds (nanoseconds?) get me in the long run when more and more requests are being made?
PS. I currently only have around 100 objects in the Dictionary although this may increase in the future.
I have the same issue, I have added the On before the Application start, or Session Start and it is still not working.Application_OnStart or Application_Start is not firingSession_OnStart or Session_Start is not firing..Note that in my development environment it is firing (both of the names).When I am adding the Global.asax file, there is only one file (no .cs file). And when I am publishing the project, I am not getting the Global.asax file, I am getting a xxxxGlobal.asax.dll file on my bin folder...
I fill a third-pard component variable in Global.Application_BeginRequest(). Everything is fine until I set IIS7 into the Integrated mode. In that case the method Application_BeginRequest() is not called (Application_Start is ok).May be some module is registered wrong?(I have found a same problem here on forum, but without a solution:[URL]
I created a web service on localhost, and I tried to call it from a web app (also on the localhost) via HttpWebRequest, but Application_BeginRequest in Global.asax didn't fire. When I type in IE 'http://localhost:8010/Test/' (the web service) Application_BeginRequest fires. Where is the problem? How can I test a localhost web service from a page which is also on localhost?
I am using a Global.asax in on my webpage to run a function with an interval. In this test I have set the interval to 1 minute to be able to see what happens.
I have declared a timer in the Application Start which should mean that when I open up the webpage after I have uploaded the Global.asax the timer will start.
However with this code below where I try to create a file named newFile.txt, this file is not created. I cant really understand what I could be missing. It seems that the function is not running ?
I have a Global.Asax and Global.Asax.cs file that is specific to my particular Asp.net project. For some unknown reason the code in my Global.asax.cs file is not being executed. I thought that the breakpoints were being ignored, however that is not the case. Because if I try to deliberately force an error to occur, the code is never executed. Below is an example of what I am talking about. The real code in my Application_Start method is not shown below. ANd other methods are not shown as well.
I have tried renaming the Global.asax file and then re-creating it, and that did not work either. Strange because when I try and create a new Global.asax file, the option to create a code behind file is greyed out.
Why isn't my Global.Asax.cs code being executed?
private void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e) { int x = 1; int y = 1; int z=1/(x-y) }
I have an asp.net 4.0 application that is using forms authentication set to a timeout at 45 minutes. I would like to redirect the user to a timeout page when the session has expired. Can anyone tell me how to do this? I am running .net 4.0.
In my company app they are doing the following. I do not understand that what initialize does? Do we need to Initialize assemblies before using them? and what kind of assemblies needs to be initialized?
Just for kicks, how do you say, wire up an ASP button to purposely throw an Application_Error exception in the global.asax file?
lets say you wanted to test the functionality of the error handling and what is doing..and you don't have a real error to do it. what is the easiest way just raise this event?
I am redirecting user from http to https if page is not secure from global.asax file in application_Begin event
But there are some pages in which i don't want to redirect to https page. I want to detect any form element which will tell me weather page should be secured or not. but when i check Requet.Form[_Viewstate] it gives me null value. Right now i check like Request.PhysicalPath.ToLower().IndexOf("test.aspx") ==-1 && !page.IsSecureConnection-> redirect to secure page but in future there will be more page which should be on http.
Is there any general way to redirect to https if page i added any hidden field on page "hfIsHttps=1" and detect that element if 1 then go other wise don't go Following is my code global.asax in application_Begin event
[code]....
I want, instead of hard core check for perticular page there should be general way, like each page itself should tell weather it should be for http or https
I have a ASP.NET/C# web application. There is an object instantiated in the Global.asax that I'll call g_objVariable. What I would like to do is reference one of it's properties in the ASP.NET page itself, like this.
The g_objVariable's Prop1 value is: <%=AppNameSpace.Global.g_objVariable.Prop1.ToString()%>
I get it to see the reference, but it keeps telling me that due to it's protection level I can't access it. I have it set to 'internal static'. What would be the least level I could set it to, but still allow the page to access it?
