global.asax in 2.0

[eramgarden]

in 1.1, Global.asax has a code behind : globalasax.vb where I could have "imports" and it had Intellisense..

Using 2.0 and I dont see a ".vb" file. I had to type in code below with no Intellisense:

Sub WindowsAuthentication_OnAuthenticate(ByVal Source As Object, _
ByVal e As WindowsAuthenticationEventArgs)
Dim userIdentity As String
userIdentity = e.Identity.Name()
End Sub

Am I missing something?

Oh, i do get intellisense but I cant do "imports"..

why?

Just add a global.asax.cs file yourself and then modify the global.asax file so that it just has this:

<%@ Application src="Global.asax.cs" Inherits="MyNamespace.Global" %>

No, that didnt work...Should global.asax in 2.0 be in "App_Code"? Is "Global" as keyword in 2.0?

I get :
Keyword is not valid as an identifier.

Line 10:

Line 11: Public Class Global

Line 12: Inherits System.Web.HttpApplication

Found this:

But I had to rename "Global" to something else like "Global2" in the class and in the refernce for it to work...why??

Global, seems like it, is a keyword in vb.net.

Just add the global.asax and the global.asax.cs files from an existing .NET 1.1 project and it will work.
