Global constructor called twice

[Manuel Vázquez Acosta]

I found out that the constructor for the Global (Global.asax) component is
called twice. The first time the Application_Start is called, while the
second is not.
Is this documented somewhere out there?

So, any instance variable iniatilizated in the Application.Start, will be
discarded the second time the Global constructor is called.

Regards,
Manuel.

The first time is special (check reflector, they actually call it special).

Generally speaking, they want you to do whatever you need to do in the application_start
method.
