C# - Using Global.asax To Catch Missing PDF
Sep 16, 2010
I'm trying to use the Global.asax file in the root application of the website to catch requests for pdf files in the root that don't exist any more. I've configured iis to send pdf requests to asp.net. The whole thing works perfectly on development. It also works on the live system with missing .aspx pages, but not .pdf. Instead an "Error Code 64: Host not available". I'm using the Global.asax file to avoid the web.config and child applications (1.1 & 2.0) inheriting settings.
Edit:
I configured IIS to send .pdf requests to asp.net using the Application Configuration dialog on the mappings tab and adding .pdf extension mapped to the aspnet_isapi.dll. "Verify that file exists" is turned off (although I've also tried it turned on).

If I am just logging exception details in my web app, do I really need to put in exception handling logic for each tier? Why not just let them all bubble up the stack trace to the global.asax and log them there?

So I handle all exceptions in my project within my Global.asax page. For example, on a random page I could have:
[code]....
So my question is in the Application_Error method, do I need the try/catch block when trying to write to the database? I'm thinking I would in case something goes wrong with the connection, etc. - but is this really necessary? Also, what would I do in the catch block if there is an error? At that point I would be catching the error of logging an error which is confusing in its own right.

Looking for best practice focused answers here with explanations.
Should the presentation layer of an ASP.Net app catch and handle exceptions thrown from the business layer, or should these be allowed to bubble out, where they can all be logged and handled uniformly in the Global.ascx's Application_Error handler?

I'm using a static Timer in my Global.asax to run a method at regular intervals. When the method throws an exception, my application is stopped. I have used an empty catch to prevent exceptions from stopping the application something like below code. Is there a disadvantage to use such an approach?

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.

Is it possible in the global.asax file on session_start to check if a url string exists and it it does insert the string into a sql database? The url would be something link http://www.mysite.com?campaign=january.
I would want to capture the january bit and put that in the database for each visitor that uses that url.

What i would like to do is catch any exception that hasn't been handled in the web application then send the user to a screen saying something like
"Were sorry this has crashed"
And at the same time send the exception to our ticketing systems.
I am assuming I need to put it in the the global.cs somewhere just not sure where?

I have a hosting account on DailyRazor.com , i use Global.asax in my project to start a schedule process in Application_Start.When i just publish my website, and upload it, the Application_Start does not Fire, but when i upload the Global.asax to my host it gives an Error but the Applicaiton_Start Event fires up, and then i delete the Global.asax file and everything works.just wondering, What am doing wrong ? or why this meaningless thing happens?

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 want to set the Masterpage property in Global.asax.
This is what I have done but I get a NullReferenceException on the first line.
protected void Application_PreSendRequestContent(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
System.Web.UI.Page page = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Handler as System.Web.UI.Page;
if (Session["lang"] == "eng")
{
page.MasterPageFile = "SideMasterPageEng.master";
}
}

I was under the impression till now that Global.asax is used for application level events and it's a common file for all users. Then what does Session_Start event does in this file. If we have to create user session varaibles then Is this the write place to create those? If someone can kindly clear my confusion on this file and it's methods.

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?

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 was given a web app written in VB.net. I am using VS2008. The project has a Global.asax page with Enums declared
Example:Public Enum eCurrentLoc as Integer
Admins
AdminTools
Home
LogIn
Status
End Enum
But in the web application itself I get errors on this line of code:
Ads = Global.eCurrentLoc.Admins
I get the blue scwigly line under Global.eCurrentLoc
The error states 'eCurrentLoc' is not a memeber of '<Defaults>'

I need to redirect some of the older pages in my application to new pages. I thought urlMapping in web.config is the efficient way to achieve this. But there is also another way to redirect using global.asax. Which one is the efficient way for this. At what point in request execution does this asax and config file comes into the picture?
