Application Restart happens for each page

[amolkasbekar]

Hi All,
I have a asp.net application that I am migrating from 1.1 to 2.0.
The App runs fine in 1.1. My setup is Winxp with IIS5. However, when I
run the app in 2.0, IIS is doing an 'Application Restart' for every
new aspx page. This is causing application state to be lost. I added
code to Application_End method in the Global.ascx.cs to log the
application restart to event log and the message I am seeing from IIS
process is "Directory rename change notification". I moved the web log
file out of the web folder but still get the same error and the
message. I am not changing any directory names, writing, deleting or
changing any files in the web folder. I have a few aspx pages with the
code behind files in the App_Code folder. This project references other
projects which are in the same solution in VS2005. I am at my wits end
with this now .. Any pointers or guidance is very much appreciated.

Thanx in Advance,
Amol.

Do you have a virus scanner running? If so, have you made sure that it is
set not to scan the directories that contain your apps?

Hope this helps,

I have turned off the virus scanner too. This is the message I get in
event log from the logging code I have added in Application_End event.

_shutDownMessage=Directory rename change notification for
'C:\CBORD\FMS_2005\UI\NetMenu'.
NetMenu dir change or directory rename
HostingEnvironment caused shutdown

_shutDownStack= at System.Environment.GetStackTrace(Exception e,
Boolean needFileInfo)
at System.Environment.get_StackTrace()
at System.Web.HttpRuntime.ShutdownAppDomain()
at System.Web.Hosting.HostingEnvironment.ShutdownThisAppDomainOnce()
at System.Web.Hosting.HostingEnvironment.InitiateShutdownWorkItemC

My web project is of type web site. There is no change to directory
names, no files added or deleted.


Amol.

Hi,

as the msg indicates something is still triggering change notifications e.g
kind of causing that. usually it is changes in content directories or just
creating/deleting them

Are you absolutely sure that nothing is changing anything?
