global.asax file won't write to file

8/11/2010

Author: Brian Woods

I can't get my global.asax file to write to a .txt file. This works locally. Also, I can write to a txt file from a web page, but I can't get it to work from the .asax file. Has anyone been able to get this to work? Thanks.

It simply works. Your Session_Start() event looks like this:

protected void Session_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
StreamWriter writter = new StreamWriter(C:/test.txt);
for(int i=0;i<=10;i++)
{
writter.WriteLine(Wrote Line No- + i);
}
writter.Close();
}

Add the using System.IO; namespace to the Global.asax page.
The followin statement will work locally but you will need to write the (~/test.txt) insetad.
StreamWriter writter = new StreamWriter(C:/test.txt);

Reply back with the exact scenario/requirement if the above solution does not solve your problem.
