Application_Start happens pretty early in the init cycle, so it should be set by the time you'd normally access it (depending on where you're trying this, of course. From a normal ASPX page it should have already fired).

Is WebApp or the method you're accessing already static/shared? That would give you an error like this (and really, if it's already flagged that way there isn't any reason to hold an instance of the class in Global.asax, which is the point of the error).
