global.asax works on local computer but not after i publish to server

Question

How can I get my global.asax file to publish to our ftp site?

I have added a global.asax file to my project (using asp.net with c# from vs2010) which works great on my local machine. Then when I publish to our ftp site. Then copy from the ftp folder into the site folder overwriting old files. It doesn't work. I am using Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise.

no only the "App_global.asax.compiled" and "App_global.asax.dll" are deployed. — Letseatlunch, Sep 05 '10 at 20:27

We had to uncheck the Precompile during publishing feature in our publishing profile and that did the trick.

Check that the "Build action" of the Global.asax file is set to "Content" in the file properties. All files set to content will be deployed.

Highlight the global.asax file in the solution explorer and press ALT+ENTER to bring up the properties window for the file. Check the build action is set to content – Russ Cam Sep 07 '10 at 06:57
Hi, ALT + ENTER shows only filename and the file location. I am using VS2012 website. Could you please help me how to set global.asax build action – Esen Feb 02 '13 at 14:36

I'm pretty sure build action is only available for web applications. This is a website – Jared Beach May 14 '15 at 11:49

We tried a lot of things.

We also tried putting the below files in root and bin directories.

App_global.asax.dll and App_global.asax.compiled files
PrecompiledApp.config

None of it worked!

We had to put raw Global.asax instead of pre-compiled dll, in order to fire the global events, for our asp .net 2.0 website.

Hope this helps someone! Cheers! Happy coding! :D

try the following:

<system.webServer>
    <validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false" />
    <handlers>
        <add name="ExtensionlessUrlHandler-ISAPI-4.0_64bit" path="*." verb="GET,HEAD,POST,DEBUG" modules="IsapiModule" scriptProcessor="C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\aspnet_isapi.dll" resourceType="Unspecified" preCondition="classicMode,runtimeVersionv4.0,bitness64" />
    </handlers>

    <validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false" />
</system.webServer>

App_global.asax.dll
App_global.asax.compiled
PrecompiledApp.config
yoursite.dll

and as @GabrielG said you have to uncheck precompile during publishing

I hope this help somebody else.
