HTTPModule and App_code ASP.NET 2.0

[Samuel]

nHi,

is it possible to add pure code to APP_Code folder to act as an HTTPModule?
If so, how do I reference it in web.config? I know global.asax is the place
for such thing but I am just wondering.

Hi Samuel,

APP_CODE code generates into a fixed filename of APP_CODE.DLL so you can use
that name for the assembly in the Web apps bin directory.

Re: HTTPModule and App_code ASP.NET 2.0

Thanks Rick for your help. It works well.

One question: what's the difference now for global.asax and httpmodules
created in app_code in terms of functionality? I know the way we code the two
are different, but what's the main difference now for the two methods in .net
2.0?

Re: HTTPModule and App_code ASP.NET 2.0

HttpModules and code in global.asax can handle any per-request events fired
by the HttpApplication (like BeginRequest, EndRequest, etc). Only global.asax
can handle Application_Sta rt, Application_End , Session_Start and Session_End.
global.asax is only deployed in the root of your virtual directory whereas
modules are packaged as assemblies so they can be deployed to ~/bin or in
the GAC. Modules can be configured machine or site wide as well.
