| A Detailed View of the Global.asax File |
| C# Corner |
| The global.asax file is the ASP.Net counterpart of the global.asa file used in traditional ASP Applications. This file is the placeholder for code to respond to application level events raised in ASP.Net or by HTTP modules. The global.asax file resides in the root directory of an ASP.NET application. |

| A Dot Net Guruer of Context |
| MSDN |
| ASP introduced several intrinsic objects like Request and Application to help track the context for an HTTP request. ASP.NET takes the next step and bundles these objects, plus several additional context-related objects into an extremely handy intrinsic object called Context. Context is an object of type System.Web.HttpContext. It is exposed as a property of the ASP.NET Page class. It's also available from user controls and your business objects (more on that later). |

| An Introductory Guide to Building and Deploying More Secure Sites with ASP.NET and IIS |
| MSDN |
| ASP.NET and Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) work together to make building secure Web sites a breeze. But to do it right, you have to know how the two interrelate and what options they provide for securing access to a Web site's resources. This article, the first in a two-part series, explains the ABCs of Web security as seen through the eyes of ASP.NET and includes a hands-on tutorial demonstrating Windows authentication and ACL authorizations. A range of security measures and authentication methods are discussed, including basic authentication, digest authentication, and role-based security. |

| Bugslayer: Handling Assertions in ASP .NET Web Apps |
| MSDN |
| Recently I was moving along with my ASP .NET Web site de-sign and was quite pleased to see just how much easier ASP .NET made the whole process. Being a good boy, I went through the design process and was about to start development when I noticed a small problem. A prototype I developed to test a theory would hang when I used the standard Debug.Assert. |

| Create a custom IHttpHandler to allow ASP.NET pages to communicate with each other |
| ASPToday |
| One of the questions that experienced web developers typically ask when learning the ASP.NET framework is this: When I want to transfer control to a new page from the current page, how do I create an instance of the next page and pass it the state of the current request? To accomplish this, the default mechanism provided by the ASP.NET framework is to redirect the browser to the next page using the Page.Navigate() method. |

| Creating HttpHandlers and HttpModules |
| Bipin Joshi |
| Http handlers are special applications that typically handle files with certain extension. For example when you request a file with extension .asp IIS routes it to ASP processor. But what if I want to handle files with my own extensions say .bipin? Http handlers allow us to do just that. Now, you might be thinking what is the use of a new file extension? Consider a case where you want to generate graphics on the fly. In such cases you will write an Http handler that will do your task. Note that Http handlers are typically called for the specific file extensions they are designed for. If you have worked with ISAPI extensions in past you will find this concept very familiar. |

| Custom Errors in ASP.NET |
| .NET Xtreme |
| When a runtime or design-time error occurs in an application, ASP.Net shows a default error page that gives a brief description of the error along with the line number on which the error occurred. A developer would wish to view this default error page, during the testing of the application since the description helps him in rectifying the error. But he would never want a user trying to access his application, to view this error page. The user would be least bothered to know about the error. Instead of showing the default error page, it would be more sensible to show a customized error page that would let the user send notification of the error to the administrator. |

| Exception Reporting with Application Error of Global.asax |
| http://tconsult.com/ |
| The easiest way to catch exceptions and report them is to use the Application_Error Handler of the global.asax file. The Application_Error handler will catch all exceptions in the application by default. The only thing you need to do is deploy it. Your .NET pages do not need any special code added to them to fire it. It will do so by default. |

| Global Exception Handling with ASP.NET |
| http://webdeveloper.earthweb.com/ |
| You can't debug a problem if you don't know that it exists. After you take your web application live, you are no longer the only one who is using it (hopefully), so you need an effective plan to track exceptions when they occur while others are surfing your site. A great way to do this is to implement an exception handler at the application level. This will allow you to consolidate the logging and notification parts of your exception handling in one convenient place. As you'll see from the code examples that follow, your global exception handler can handle both specific exceptions that you trap in your code and generic unhandled exceptions. |

| As a web master of any web site it becomes of primary importance for you to know of any error that occurs in your Web Application. Even though good design practice calls for Error Handling within the application itself, still there could many un-handled errors and exceptions occurring within your web applications spoiling your clients experience. |
