Application_Start isn't executed

[Peter Morris]

I am developing a simple website (merely hosts a silverlight client). The
site needs to perform some initialisation so I have some code in
Global.ASAX's Application_Start method, but when I run my website this
method is never executed. I am using the development server, not IIS. I
have stopped it, restarted VS, run it again and still no joy.

Does anyone have any ideas why this might be the case? It is preventing a
number of critical services from being registered.


Regards

Pete

Hi Peter,
I've read about a similar issue, I think they ended up renaming the
global.asax, adding a new global.asax and then moving the code over to the
new global.asax, which surprisingly fixed the problem.

Thanks Steve

It still seems intermittent. I've created a static class with the init code
I need in its static constructor, so when the stuff I need is first
referenced it will be created. Very dodgy though.
