33. ASP.NET State Management Techniques
Published in:
C# 6.0 and the .NET 4.6 Framework
Abstract
The previous two chapters concentrated on the composition and behavior of ASP.NET pages and the web controls they contain. This chapter builds on that information by examining the role of the Global.asax file and the underlying HttpApplication type. As you will see, the functionality of HttpApplication allows you to intercept numerous events that enable you to treat your web application as a cohesive unit, rather than a set of stand-alone *.aspx files driven by a master page.
