how do i set my web app up to use the global.asax file

[mit99mh]

i've set the root folder as an application folder and i've
set the Global.asax to use a code behind file

<%@ Application Codebehind=&quot;Global.asax.vb&quot; %>


In the Global.asax.vb file i set a variable in the method

Sub Application_Start(Sender As Object, E As EventArgs)
Application(&quot;Test&quot = &quot;Global.asax starting&quot;
End Sub

and then try and output this in a code behind page

lblMessage.Text = &quot; started &quot; & Application(&quot;Test&quot & &quot; here&quot;

But the Application(&quot;Test&quot bit is not shown. Any help much appreciated

Hi
You need
<%@ Application Codebehind=&quot;Global.asax.vb&quot; Inherits=&quot;MyProjectName.Global&quot; %>

as the global.asax file and this as the bones of your global.asax.vb file

Imports System.Web
Imports System.Web.SessionState

Public Class Global
Inherits System.Web.HttpApplication
...
End Class

Well this is how VS.net sets it up for me in any case
