Web Forms :: What Does Initialize() Does In Application_Start Method In Global.asax
Aug 13, 2010
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?
I have a site that uses ActiveRecord. I'm getting an exception that says "An ActiveRecord class () was used but the framework seems not properly initialized. Did you forget about ActiveRecordStarter.Initialize() ?" This is a web application, and the Initialize() method is called by the Application_Start event handler.
I created a new page that also calls the initialize() method. If I visit that page once, then the rest of the site works. If I visit it a second time, I get an exception stating that the Initialize() method can only be called once.
I've tried modifying the web.config and resetting the application pool to force Application_Start to run.
This only happens in production; dev, my stage, and client stage are fine. Production is the only load-balanced environment--I'm not sure if that comes into play.
Edit: We have another site deployed in the same environment which successfully uses ActiveRecord with the same initialization code. One difference is that the site that is working has only the ActiveRecord code in Application_Start; the site that doesn't also sets up some URL routing in Application_Start.
what might be best suited to place in the Application_Start and Session_Start subroutines? I know when each subroutine is called. Application_Start when the first user first accesses the web application. Session_Start when a user opens a session with the application. But what code belongs in each of these subroutines. What should the code in each subroutine do?
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...
Can I call Initialize Culture of every page from the Global.asax?
Every page looks at the query string of "?lang=##" and sets the language accordingly. Since all pages do this, is there a place where I can implement it once and all pages will load it?
My site has around 200 pages and I dont want to implement the code in everypage. Would take too long for maintenance and to implement. It would be more convinient if I could simply put it in a function that all pages call when loading.
I have a method in one class file with defination like this which gets the user id of logged person.
public string GetUserID(HttpRequest req) { .... }
I need to call this method in global.asax and save that value in session. I need to use this session value i need to use this Session value and assign that to label in Masterpage. I did not use global.asax before. And what should be the input to method... i have seen only Request is have the returntype HttpRequest. So i thought of giving that.
my objective is i want to log all those exceptions on my aspx pages which are handled or unhandled. To do this do i need to write my method in global.asax or how can i do that?
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 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.
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?
My website needs hit counter. i have created hit count in global.asax page, which works fine. Now i wanted to display hit count in all pages. so, do i have to use mater page or function to all in every page.
I have added global.asax file in my webservice project. in webservice project i have one class file name as 'Class1.vb' in this class contain some methods() , i want to access those methods from 'class1.vb' in global.asax.vb file. any body knows how to access those methods in global.asax.vb. file
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
