global.asa and global.asax file?

[macupryk]

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

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 users 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

Dim aDBParams()
Dim aEntParams()
Dim sRegSetting
Dim objRegRead
Dim nParamCnt
Dim nEntCnt
Dim nLoopCnt

Function ParseString (SubStrs, argSrcStr, Delimiter )

Dimension variables:
ReDim SubStrs(0)
Dim CurPos
Dim NextPos
Dim DelLen
Dim nCount
Dim TStr
Dim SrcStr

Add delimiters to start and end of string to make loop simpler:
SrcStr=argSrcStr
SrcStr = Delimiter & SrcStr & Delimiter
Calculate the delimiter length only once:
DelLen = Len(Delimiter)
Initialize the count and position:
nCount = 0
CurPos = 1
NextPos = InStr(CurPos + DelLen, SrcStr, Delimiter)

Loop searching for delimiters:
Do Until NextPos = 0
Extract a sub-string:
TStr = Mid(SrcStr, CurPos + DelLen, NextPos - CurPos - DelLen)
Increment the sub string counter:
nCount = nCount + 1
Add room for the new sub-string in the array:
ReDim Preserve SubStrs(nCount)
Put the sub-string in the array:
SubStrs(nCount) = Trim(TStr)
Position to the last found delimiter:
CurPos = NextPos
Find the next delimiter:
NextPos = InStr(CurPos + DelLen, SrcStr, Delimiter)
Loop

Return the number of sub-strings found:
ParseString = nCount

End Function


Use Application variables since they do not change from session to session

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

 

[PlausiblyDamp]

The global.asa will be used for asp pages and global.asax for aspx pages.
