Application_End method of Global.asax and Shutting down an asp.net application

[J-T]

I have my applciation installed in an appplication pool (a worker
process) -IIS 6.0-which is defined to be shut down after 20 minutes of being
idle.If I put a breakpoint in Application_End method of Global.asax and
there is no request for 20 minutes ,dose the breakpoint works for me?

Is there a document which can gives me more infomration in this behaviour?


Thanks

Yes, the breakpoint should be hit. Are you saying the breakpoint is
not being hit?

 

[J-T]

Yes Scott,
I can not get the breakpoint to hit!!!I'm putting my application in the
application pool of IIS 6.0 and set the shut down to for instance 5 minutes
,but after five minutes nothing happens!!!!

Thanks Scott

cookieless="true|false"

timeout - Specifies the number of minutes a session can be idle before it is
abandoned. The default is 20.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dndotnet/html/introwebforms.asp
Application_End - Fires when the last user in the site's session times out
From the documentation Application_End ONLY FIRES when the LAST USER in
the site's session times out, since the default value is 20 mintues once

I noticed this piece of code from the above link.

protected void Application_End(Object sender, EventArgs e){
//release the writer
// Even if this doesn't execute, when the appdomain gets shutdown
//it will be released anyways
if(_writer!=null)
_writer.Close();
}

Just by the wording in the comment section it seems that Application_End
might not always get called on an app shutdown.
