How do I deploy Global.asax

[Roy Chastain]

I have a very simple Global.asax file (this is my first ASP.Net stuff). I would like it to work the way that the old Global.asa
worked in that I have only 1 file and it compiles when it changes and the Application restarts.

I have copied the file to the virtual directory of the application on the web server. IIS does not seem to know that it is there.
I have even restarted IIS. Still does not seem to know the file is there.

Where would I see compile errors for that file?

This is all on a Win2003 server.

Thanks

Typically, if there is a compile error, you would see it when you make a
request to a page in the same application.

Okay, can I just put the file out as Global.asax or do I have to play the code behind game etc?

I don't actually have in pages in this application. The only thing in this application is a .net remote object that is being
hosted by IIS.

It depends on how you have it setup.

If you have a codebehind for global.asax, then of course you have to copy
the dll over.

If you don't have a code behind file, and your code is a script in
global.asax, then just copying the file is enough.

You might want to create a test page so you can make sure your application
is up and running.

Found compile errors. I had already figured out the test page idea.

How do I put a reference to an assembly in. I am trying to import a namespace, but the namespace is not found because of the lack
of the reference.

Note: IIS (or ASP.Net) refuses access to a ".asax" file.
