Is it possible to debug Global.asax?

Question

I can't debug global.asax file!

I have some codes in Application_Start() method but when I set a break point in the method, it is ignored!

Is this normal?

Answer 1

A simple way to break in Application_Start() is to use the System.Diagnostics.Debugger class. You can force the application to break by inserting System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Break() where you would like the debugger to break.

void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)  {      System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Break();       // ... }
