Global.asa!

[Arpan]

Is the Global.asa file resolved before parsing the 'Include' (files) or
after parsing the 'Include' (files)?

Thanks,

Arpan

Thanks, Steven, for the response. So am I correct in saying that the
order of execution of an ASP page begins with Global.asa followed by
the "include"s, scripts within the RUNAT=SERVER tag etc...?

Thanks once again,

I really don't think that global.asa is executed every time an ASP script is
run. I think it is called when a session or application either starts or
ends. What do you think global.asa can do for every single web page
executed during a session?

Thanks, Aaron for your input.

When only a single ASP script is run, doesn't that imply that an
application has started? In other words, doesn't executing one & only
one ASP page constitute an apllication? Or is it something like when a
group of ASP pages get executed, only then it becomes an application? I
am not sure!

Thanks once again,

Global.asa allows to define events that are triggered when appropriate (for
example when an application start that is when the first page on a site that
was not previously "running" is hit).

What are you trying to do ? If this is to put common functions I just use a
general "page.asp" file that then includes in truns all the pieces I need on
all pages...

This way :
- I only need to include page.asp on all and every page
- I may include exceptional additional files

By updating page.asp all pages have the new feature at their disposal.

What are you trying to do ?
