Where best to customize HttpApplication?

I can see three points at which I could add custom code for Kentico's HttpApplication:

- Global.asax.cs
- CMSHttpApplication.cs
- CMSAppBase.cs

I had some trouble adding to the usual Global.asax.cs. Application_Start would never fire, and for every exception, Application_Error would fire twice.

I've settled on modifying Kentico's provided CMSHttpApplication.cs, but it doesn't feel right. What is the best practice for adding custom code to the typical HttpApplication methods?

RE:Where best to customize HttpApplication?

Hello,

I would recommend you to use the Global events.

Especially in your case would be helpful:

• CMSApplicationEvents – contains events related to the whole application run.

-> Start – fired when the application starts. It is recommended to bind only the After handler to make sure you handler has all necessary data initialized.

and

• SystemEvents - contains general system events, replaces the old CustomExceptionHandler.

-> Exception - fired when unhandled exception occurs.

Best regards,
Martin Danko
