Which causes the program to fail next time because it tries to launch the process again and can't get a lock on it. How can I make su...

Hi, I'd like to be able to use duplex contract with MSMQ, does someone have any ideas to do that ? I've seen some blogs here and here, but it seems that their attempt (using duplex contracts over MSMQ using a:ReplyTo) has not successed.

In a little demo application that I'm building I put code to initialize the database in the Global.Session_Start() event. However, I notice that this event does not fire when I'm running through the app in the debugger on the development server (haven't tested it anywhere else yet). Question 1: What gives?
