ASP.NET Global.asax code doesn't execute

When asp compiles your global.asax, it is given a the default class name, a name that I don't recall now and you have to use that class name to address your aplication variables since they are members of the class.

Add the following to your global.aspx (using whatever you want to replace 'MyApp'):
<%@ Application ClassName='MyApp' %>

You can then define global variables, i.e.
public shared MyConnString as string = '<the connection string'>

Then in your application code, you can access the connection string with
MyApp.MyConnString

 

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

 

I loaded my project on the server and the connection string is loaded into an application variable in the global.asax, b ut it doesn't execute. Anyone have an idea why?

Appreciate any help.....
