Is there a way to have Global.asax execute my own custom code without actually modifying the standard Global.asax.vb file? If not, is there interest in a way to do this if I implemented it and submitted my implementation for inclusion?

I have a need to have the Application_Start and Application_BeginRequest events execute some of my own code. I would like to do this without modifying the standard Global.asax.vb file because any time I customize a DNN source file it adds more burden to the upgrade process when a new version comes out. So I prefer not to do customizations. I haven't found any way to subclass the Global class to extend it that way. Perhaps this is possible and I'm missing something.

I have a couple of ideas for allowing customization without modifying the standard code (well, once it's modified to allow that!) I'd need to refine them. I'd definitely be willing to share the implementation. I think this is something a lot of developers would benefit from.

Thoughts?

Hello, lloydkurth

I met similar requirement in this post.

Have you find a solution?

If you have, please give some help.

Thanks,

Ricky.

you just need to add it in yourself. The reason it doesn't exist currently is that we use httpmodules for various tasks and hook that event up in them (this allows us to support alternative providers for items such as membership).
