asked on

global.asa and global.asax file?

I have two files in visual source safe one with global.asa
and the other global.asax,global.asax.res, global.asax.vb.

The global.asa contains the following:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=VBScript RUNAT=Server>

' C.C. Financial Evaluation Model global.asa
' Copyright 2001 Zurich North America
' Corporate Customer

'You can add special event handlers in this file that will get run automatically when
'special Active Server Pages events occur. To create these handlers, just create a
'subroutine with a name from the list below that corresponds to the event you want to
'use. For example, to create an event handler for Session_OnStart, you would put the
'following code into this file (without the comments):

'Sub Session_OnStart
'**Put your code here
'
'**
'End Sub

'EventName Description
'Session_OnStart Runs the first time a user runs any page in your application
'Session_OnEnd Runs when a user's session times out or quits your application
'Application_OnStart Runs once when the first page of your application is run for the first time by any user
'Application_OnEnd Runs once when the web server shuts down

Which one is being run when the default.asp page is being loaded?

Global.asax is the .NET equivalent of the Classic ASP Global.asa file.
Have you converted the app from an ASP3.0 file?
If you are using ASP and ASP.NET files, the ASP.NET pages, the ASP.NET pages call the global.asax file.

For more information on the changes, check out:

hope this helps,
