Well, did you? It's not too tough to open in Notepad.

That was me that down voted the answer, not the poster, as answering the question with a question isn't really that helpful.

@Tom: with questions like these, it's obvious the user did absolutely no research on their own. Simple questions like these can be answered by Google, and for the most part, should never reach a site like stack overflow.

@Tom: I'm sorry, but unless the poster was crippled, he doesn't need my help to open the file in Notepad. If he had opened it and had a question about what was inside of it, then I would have answered. don't know if the OP is one of them, but we seem to be getting people who will ask a badly-worded question on SO without thinking about it just for a few seconds, and before they even Google.

A:
The Global.asax file, also known as the ASP.NET application file, is an optional file that contains code for responding to application-level and session-level events raised by ASP.NET or by HTTP modules. The Global.asax file resides in the root directory of an ASP.NET application. At run time, Global.asax is parsed and compiled into a dynamically generated .NET Framework class derived from the HttpApplication base class. ASP.NET is configured so that any direct URL request for the Global.asax file is automatically rejected; external users cannot download or view the code in it. The Global.asax file is optional. You create it only if you want to handle application or session events.
