Using HttpModule instead of Global.asax

Question

How do I convert:

<%@ Application Language="C#" %> <script runat="server"> void Session_Start(object sender, EventArgs e) { } </script> 

Into a circuit using an HttpModule?

Also, can I write Global.asax as pure C # instead of using tags?

Answer 1

At the beginning of your custom module, you need to get a Session module and add an event handler for the Start event.

 public void Init(HttpApplication context) { context.BeginRequest += new EventHandler(Begin_Request); IHttpModule sessionModule = context.Modules["Session"]; if(sessionModule != null && sessionModule.GetType() == typeof(System.Web.SessionState.SessionStateModule)) { (sessionModule as System.Web.SessionState.SessionStateModule).Start += new EventHandler(CustomHttpModule_Start); } } 

Also, can I write Global.asax aspure C # instead of using tags?

Yes, you can add the code behind in Global.asax and change the content to

 <%@ Application Language="C#" CodeBehind="Global.asax.cs" Inherits="Global" %> 

Your code behind should inherit from System.Web.HttpApplication

 public class Global : System.Web.HttpApplication { public Global() { } void Session_Start(object sender, EventArgs e) { // Code that runs when a new session is started } }
