C# - How To Use Global.asax File To Redirect The User
Feb 22, 2011
What should be done if I want to redirect a user based on their ISO Codes?
And how should I detect a website user's IS Code in the first place? Like I know there are these server variables that we use to detect Client IP and all (HTTP_FORWARDED_FOR, REMOTE_ADDRESS, etc) but information about them on the many sites that I have read has got me confused about what to use. Like some say there can be comma separated IPs returned by HTTP_FORWARDED_X and out of those IPs , one is not sure which is the real IP and which are the proxy addresses. Also, that all the IP addresses in returned can be fake.
How to I fetch the REAL IP Address of a person? Like I only want to know what country a particular person is sitting so I can redirect the user accordingly. Secondly lets say a person is sitting in US then I want the user to be redirected to [URL] If a person is visiting my site from Germany, [URL] is the address that I want the person to be redirected to.Also if DE is the ISO Code then I want my GermanMaster.master page to load and if its US then I want that the USMaster.master should load.
So how do I fetch a user's not fake IP address, redirect a user based on that ISO code and then load a master page according to the ISO Code.
How do I go about it? I haven't ever worked with Global.asax before so clueless how to go about it all.

we have a store that we contracted with a company to modify. They added the following to our Global.asax file:
[code]...
The purpose is to take anyone going to one of our pages to a login screen unless they are going to these folders which do not need the login protection.
I now need to let them go to [URL]

I have custom errors set in the web config file as follows:
<customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="GenericError.aspx" />
Fine and dandy... I like that mode="RemoteOnly" facilitates development...
For unhandled exceptions, I have in global.asax:
Sub Application_Error(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
Response.Redirect("GenericError.aspx")
End Sub
However, unhandled exceptions are going to the generic error page instead of the informative yellow screen of death preferred by developers. I can comment out the redirect in global.asax, but then I need to remember to change it for the production environment. Is there a way I can check in Application_Error whether I am remote or not to determine whether to redirect?

I just bought an old domain name and am looking to redirect as many old URLs as possible to acquire backlinks intended for the original owner for pagerank reasons. The original site had a lot of static pages ending in .htm which need to be redirected to directories. I use httpcontext in my Global.asax file to initiate 301 redirects and this works great on folder names or .aspx files, but whenever I try to redirect a .htm it fails.
Sample code:
if (HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.ToString().ToLower().Contains("http://www.example.com/oldpage.htm"))
{
HttpContext.Current.Response.Status = "301 Moved Permanently";[code]....
I also tried using my Parallels H-Sphere interface provided by my hosting company to do a IIS redirect, but whenever I hit submit the page just starts an infinate loop of sending a request.

I have an asp.net application. I want to add a global.asax and global.asax.cs file to my project. In the IDE when I select to create a new global.asax file, the option to create a CS code behind file is greyed out. When the global.asax file is created, no code behind is created, instead code is placed in the global.asax file and the global.asax.cs file is never created? Why is the option for a C# code behind file greyed out?

I have a custom provider for authenticaiton that is HTTP Module-based. IIS authentication and web.config authentication is configure to 'None' and allow anonymous. When I probe for User.Identity.Name in Session_Start, it is empty. However User.Identity.Name works elswhere in the application as expected (returns the current user id). Is it possibly during Session_Start no authentication request has been issued, therefore there is no principal at this moment?

In the website we have several folders, some folders are accessible by anonymous users, others are accessible by members only, some by administrators or a both administrators and members can view this folder. Each folder contains some forms; these forms are based on the role as well. We'd like to add "user.identity" as to authenticate the user based on the user_id from table websit_ users.
However we are not sure , wither we need to specify each and every form, folder or this will be done automatically once authentication is applied. And where do we put the user.identity and what is the exact format of it. Do we include it in our Global.asax after the authentication part?! This is the code in global.asax:

The purpose of the code associated with the Global.asax is to hold functionality to respond to various application-level events.
But why is there a markup file associated with the Global.asax.cs? I presume this is an ASP.NET implementation side effect?

I'm trying to install a 301 redirect where the instruction is as follows:
"In my Global.asax file (You can add this to your site from Visual Web Developer or Visual Studio by selecting File->New), In the Application_BeginRequest event, I added a call to the following code:"
The code is at bottom if needed. When it says "added a call to the following code:" does that mean something more than just putting the code inside the Application_BeginRequest section of my global.asax? For example, here's what that section looks like in my site:

I am developing a small asp.net mvc intranet application for our company. Right now the home page will get the Windows username from the windows logged on user and make a call to our active directory based on that username to get more detailed info about the user (email, ect.) Everything works great on my local Visual Studio 2008 server. But when I deploy all the files to my IIS 6.0 server I get the following:
[NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.]

It is failed in my Global.asax.cs file where I try to populate a custom User object (has a username and email property). In line 50 where the error is occuring I make a call to a class called SecurityUtil to get the username from WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent() and then get the email by making a call into our active directory. I almost want to say that the necessary libraries are not getting added in either my project dll or web.config file because of the null pointer. Also, the error line is point to my local file structure (C:Documents and SettingscsallemiMy DocumentsVisual Studio 2008Projects) and not the file structure residing on my iis 6.0 machine.

When I am debugging an application in ASP.NET, after about ~5 minutes I get a NullRefEx coming from global.asax.cs regarding:
protected void Session_Start(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
WindowsIdentity identity = null;
identity = (WindowsIdentity)(Context.User.Identity);
...
Context is Null at this point. I am a noob in ASP.NET with regards to Global.asax.cs. This code was written by another developer. EDIT: This is the code with HttpContext...
protected void Session_Start(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
WindowsIdentity identity = null;
identity = (WindowsIdentity)(HttpContext.Current.User.Identity);

My ASP.NET intranet web application uses Windows Authentication, and I would like to record the following details:
1) Windows ID
2) Session Start Time
3) Session Stop Time
4) URL being browsed to (optional)
I've got some basic code setup in "Session_Start" method of the Global.ASAX to log session start times (seen below), but that's it so far. I have the feeling this is a primitive approach and there are "better" ways of doing this. So I really have two questions:
1) Is this the right way to go about doing this? If not what are some other options?
2) If this is the right way, do I just need to drop some code in the "Session_End" method to record the time they exit, and thats a complete solution? Does this method always get called when they close the browser tab they have the site open in, or do they have to close the entire browser (I don't have logout functionality)? Any way users can skip over this session end method (or start for that case)?

I am trying to fix this warning by marking all event handler methods that are present in Global.asax.cs file as private. Does it result in any side effects in web application execution?
