Application_Start is not firing in IIS

Question

In my web application, I had given some set of coding's in the APPLICATION_START() in Global.asax file. Its been working while I run it on the development server. Whereas, when I hosted it in IIS, the Application_Start event is not firing. Can any one help me to get rid of this... Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

No idea if this is your situation, but in case it helps, this happened to me with the following conditions:

• I am using Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure.DynamicModuleHelper
• The IIS application pool is set to use Integrated Pipeline mode (it works ok with Classic)
• I do not have a PreApplicationStartMethod defined.

(This arose because I was trying to use Ninject.Web 3.0 in a web forms application. It relies on WebActivator which is unsigned and so I can't use it easily with my signed assemblies. So I tried to call NinjectWebCommon.Start() from Application_Start() manually which works fine with the debug webserver but not with IIS in integrated mode.)
