Hi

I have an web application called webapp1 and currently its deployed and working. I got a requirement saying client don't want to keep global.asax in the root folder(C:\inetpub\wwwroot\webapp1) and they are saying create a folder inside webapp1 liek (C:\inetpub\wwwroot\webapp1/gloablfolder) and move global.asax file to that folder. I tried to moving and after that application is not working. Is it possible to move global.asax and if yes any changes required in the webapp1.

Thanks

Sudheer

Hello Sudher, An application can have only one global.asax and that should reside in the root folder. You cannot move global.asax file into other sub folder. Global.asax is a file that resides in the root directory of your application. It is inaccessible over the web but is used by the ASP.NET application if it is there. It is a collection of event handlers that you can use to change and set settings in your site.
