Hi,

//Code that runs on application startup

Response.Write("HttpContext.Current.Request.ServerVariables[HTTP_HOST] " + HttpContext.Current.Request.ServerVariables["HTTP_HOST"]);

}

what is the type of your project website or web application?

Have u put break point at the function?

Try Change Application_Start to Application_OnStart

Check http://forums.asp.net/p/980754/2072233.aspx

 

U should also put a break point in Session_Start  event to check that is global.asax is working correctly or not

Hi, Are you using session mode "In proc"

Since global.asax won't fire if you are using "Out of Proc"

Does session start function also fire or not?

session start is getting fired. I don't know why the Application_OnStart is not firing every time. It should be fired everytime when I build the application. right? It's looking strange. it is getting fired very rarely.

Application_Start event will only fire when the application is first started. Now everytiime you run the application and because it was started it will not be executed unless it is removed from the AppDomain.

IT should only be get fired when you start you First time.

There isn't any such event to be fire if you just build your application
