[Mono-devel-list] Global.asax changes

Mon Oct 13 13:47:51 EDT 2003

It seems there is another problem with global.asax.
Adding ClassName at the Application's Directive tells ASP.NET to name the
class it generates for global.asax. This name can be used later in the aspx
pages to refer global variables and methods, static or not. I run this code
under Win (WebMatrix and IIS) and it's working fine. With Mono / xsp I get :
>>error CS0246: Cannot find type "Global"

Here are the files I used for testing:
---global.asax---
<%@ Application language="C#" ClassName="Global" %>
<script runat="server">

	public static String strStatic = "Static String Variable";

    public void Application_Start(Object sender, EventArgs e) {
        // Code that runs on application startup
    }

    public void Application_End(Object sender, EventArgs e) {
        // Code that runs on application shutdown
    }

    public void Application_Error(Object sender, EventArgs e) {
        // Code that runs when an unhandled error occurs
    }

    public void Session_Start(Object sender, EventArgs e) {
        // Code that runs when a new session is started
    }

    public void Session_End(Object sender, EventArgs e) {
        // Code that runs when a session ends
    }

	public String TestPublicMethod(){
		return "String from public method";
	}

	public static String TestStaticMethod(){
		return "String from static method";
	}

</script>
----------

---index.aspx-----
<%@ Page Language="C#" %>
<script runat="server">

    // Insert page code here
    private void Page_Load(){
      //
    }
    Global gl = new Global();

</script>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
    <p>Static string variable :
    <% Response.Write(Global.strStatic); %>
    <p>Test Pubic Method :
    <% Response.Write(gl.TestPublicMethod()); %>
    <p>Test Static Method :
    <% Response.Write(Global.TestStaticMethod()); %>

    <form runat="server">
        <!-- Insert content here -->
    </form>
</body>
</html>
------------------

I'm trying to understand the source code so I can give you more info about
the eventuals errors I get and maybe finally to can patch myself some bugs.
Is it HttpApplicationFactory that I should look now? I don't see any
reference to ClassName parameter of the Application directive...

It's a bug. Please file a bug report so that I don't forget about it.
