Events in Global.asax are not firing

Question

In my ASP.Net application, I can\'t get the events in Global.asax to fire on my machine. For instance, Session_Start will not fire.

The same Global.asax works fine

Answer 1

This is a long shot but I have been bitten by this before. When you created your Global.asax.cs file did you make sure to include a basic Global.asax file in your project?

Also make sure that the inherits property in that Global.asax is pointing to your custom class (namespace and all) in your Global.asax.cs file.

I had this problem once and it was because I totally forgot to make the Global.asax file and hook it up to my class. I had just copied the Global.asax.cs from another project that did something similar.
