Application restart on file change

[Chris]

I have a schema file that is loaded in the application_onstart event.
Is there a way to make the appliaction restart and fire the event
again if the xsd file is changed in the same way as when web.config
changes? I can't find any section of web.config where I can add this
dependency.

I don't think you can set a restart dependency in this way. The application
restart is intended for specific application files. But one approach is to
set a cache dependency on the xsd file and pass a callback function that
either attempts to unload the application domain or makes an immaterial
change to the web config file

Is your schema file something you could put into Cache? You could load it
on application start, place it into cache, and then use a FileDependency on
the cache object. When you change the your .xsd file, it will invalidate
and reload the file into cache.

Bill's post sounds the most appropriate way to achieve what you want, but if
you still need to it the other way you could use the info in the following
link to achieve what you want, but it is messy and bit of a hack and will
definitely require you change the security settings for the website which
you should try and avoid where possible IMHO.
