Answer 2

Application level events only need proper naming to work. Is your codebehind class being designated in your Global.asax file?

<%@ Application Inherits="YourNamespace.YourApplicationClass" Language="C#" %>

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

becuase project is compiled first and then you have add or modify or changed location of global.asax.vb.

Solution :- Just remove debug folder. Clean project and then rebuild whole project.

If you have fiddled with ASP.NET then maybe try reinstalling it.
