使用这些事件的一个关键问题是知道它们被触发的顺序。Application_Init 和Application_Start 事件在应用程序第一次启动时被触发一次。相似地，Application_Disposed 和 Application_End 事件在应用程序终止时被触发一次。此外，基于会话的事件（Session_Start 和 Session_End）只在用户进入和离开站点时被使用。其余的事件则处理应用程序请求，这些事件被触发的顺序是：
· Application_BeginRequest
· Application_AuthenticateRequest
· Application_AuthorizeRequest
· Application_ResolveRequestCache
· Application_AcquireRequestState
· Application_PreRequestHandlerExecute
· Application_PreSendRequestHeaders
· Application_PreSendRequestContent
· ＜＜执行代码＞＞
· Application_PostRequestHandlerExecute
· Application_ReleaseRequestState
· Application_UpdateRequestCache
· Application_EndRequest
这些事件常被用于安全性方面。下面这个 C# 的例子演示了不同的Global.asax 事件，该例使用Application_Authenticate 事件来完成通过 cookie 的基于表单（form）的身份验证。此外，Application_Start 事件填充一个应用程序变量，而Session_Start 填充一个会话变量。Application_Error 事件显示一个简单的消息用以说明发生的错误。
protected void Application_Start(Object sender, EventArgs e) {
Application["Title"] = "Builder.com Sample";
}
protected void Session_Start(Object sender, EventArgs e) {
Session["startValue"] = 0;
}
protected void Application_AuthenticateRequest(Object sender, EventArgs e) {
// Extract the forms authentication cookie
string cookieName = FormsAuthentication.FormsCookieName;
HttpCookie authCookie = Context.Request.Cookies[cookieName];
if(null == authCookie) {
// There is no authentication cookie.
return;
}
FormsAuthenticationTicket authTicket = null;
try {
authTicket = FormsAuthentication.Decrypt(authCookie.Value);
} catch(Exception ex) {
// Log exception details (omitted for simplicity)
return;
}
if (null == authTicket) {
// Cookie failed to decrypt.
return;
}
// When the ticket was created, the UserData property was assigned
// a pipe delimited string of role names.
string[2] roles
roles[0] = "One"
roles[1] = "Two"
// Create an Identity object
FormsIdentity id = new FormsIdentity( authTicket );
// This principal will flow throughout the request.
GenericPrincipal principal = new GenericPrincipal(id, roles);
// Attach the new principal object to the current HttpContext object
Context.User = principal;
}
protected void Application_Error(Object sender, EventArgs e) {
Response.Write("Error encountered.");
}
