Access to EPiServer API from global.asax

Vote:
 

Hi,

Having tried to access the EPiServer API from global.asax and failed I was wondering how I might go about adding some code that will be executed every time asp.net creates a new session (Session_Start in global.asax).

If that is impossible then how can I hook up some code that is executed on every request (as early as possible in the pipeline, similar to Application_BeginRequest) and has access to the episerver api.

Thanks.

Hi

Could you use HttpApplication.BeginRequest event?

    [ModuleDependency(typeof(InitializationModule))]
    public class SampleInitializer : IInitializableHttpModule
    {
        public void InitializeHttpEvents(HttpApplication application)
        {
            application.BeginRequest += ApplicationOnBeginRequest;
        }
        
        private void ApplicationOnBeginRequest(object sender, EventArgs eventArgs)
        {
            // You can access episerver APIs with ServiceLocator            
            var contentRepository = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<IContentRepository>();
            
            // TODO your code here       
            throw new NotImplementedException();
        }

        public void Initialize(InitializationEngine context)
        {
        }

        public void Uninitialize(InitializationEngine context)
        {
        }
    }
