Events in HTTP Modules

[Guest]

In KB article 308000 HOW TO: Create an ASP.NET HTTP Module Using Visual Basic .NET (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;308000), a simple HTTP Module is created which, among other things, raises a user defined event in the BeginRequest handler. it is defined as (in the HTTP Module

Public Delegate Sub MyEventHandler(ByVal s As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs
Public Event MyEvent As MyEventHandle

and is handled in the global.asax a

Public Sub MyModule_OnMyEvent(src As Object, e As EventArgs)
Context.Response.Write("Hello from MyModule_OnMyEvent called in Global.asax.<br>"
End Su

if you change the signature t

Public Delegate Sub MyEventHandler(byval msg as string

and use in global.asa

Public Sub MyModule_OnMyEvent(byval msg as string)
Context.Response.Write(msg & "<br>"
End Sub

wit

RaiseEvent MyEvent("Request Event"

in the HTTP module, the event doesn't seem to take place.

Do event like this have to have a particular signature?

you cannot change the signature, as reflection is used by the global.asx to
implement the automatic binding. you create your own event arg that had a
string property.
