Simple question

[ShonGill]

What would happen if I don't place a global.asax file in the root of a website? I have a page with a submitbutton.click event that fires and calls an event handler. When I click the button on the page the code is not run and the debug does not run either. The validation does fire when I click the button though.

Try it and you will find out.

When I click the button on the page the code is not run and the debug does not run either. The validation does fire when I click the button though.

Is this a problem? Are you expecting it to run? If so, then you need to debug your application to find out why.

to expand on what mark's comments: global.asax subclasses HttpApplication when you add the file you will see the following code

public class Global : HttpApplication
{
   // members go here
}

to you 2nd question, we can't do anything without code.
are you using a standard html button. if so then nothing will happen on the server, because the server doesn't know about the control.
if it's a server button control then it either isn't wired correctly to the handler, or validation returns false and therefore does not postback to the server.

Ok, thanks for your help. I think it is a problem with the hosting service. You may not remember the first post I did asking about a problem with sending emails thread855-1474757. I still don't know which method of sending emails works out better. Sending from the config file seemed to work out ok except the duplicates, haven't had a chance to try Mark's method.

I am going to get more "technical" with the site and just try reloading it back to before the upgrade. Thank you for your help.
