Hi,

The approach you're looking at in the other thread might work (Context.Handler.GetType().??? in Application_PreRequestHandlerExecute may be what you need).

But I wonder whether you would be better off subclassing the page class for use with the framework and passing the page to the framework somewhere during the page creation. That way only valid pages (in fact only pages deliberately subclassed) would be passed to the framework. (Sorry, I'm a bit rusty on this and have my head in a VFP bucket at the moment so I may be missing something (or a lot<s>)

Regards,
Viv

>Basically, if I comment the lines in the BeginRequest(), EndRequest(), Error() and PreRequestHandlerExecute() events, when a user pulls out the web.config or a .vb file such as account.aspx.vb, the server will return the proper message which is "This type of page is not served.". This is what I want. However, I really need to have global.asax to be defined as is. What happens is those events take priority over the web.config and they try to process the file. Do you know what I need to do in order to have the web.config to have priority?
