Hi there. When editing parts of my project that get called in Application_Start(), i want to have the web app restart every time i press 'Debug', so that i can debug these parts. But if i dont change the Global.asax.cs self, it doesnt restart and therefore doesnt fire the Application_Start().
Is there any setting or trick to let the app restart each time i start a new debug?
If you are using the development server, simply right-click>stop on the tray icon. When it starts back up you will have a fresh new app-domain that needs to execute global.asax.
Or, in any case, dev or IIS, simply add a space or otherwise modify the web.config file - that will recycle the app domain.
Update - on further consideration: Have you tried re building.
Another thought - you could add a 'pre-build event' that 'touches' the web.config using a command line. BUT - you will probably want to define a special build configuration with configuration manager that is clearly marked, otherwise you may forget that you are killing your app domain and chase your tail in circles. ;p
try searching for 'windows touch file timestamp'.
