You should not rename the Global class and Global.asax. This thing is hardwired in a few places because this is the base object that 'hosts' your ASP.Net application. It's an HTTPApplication instance and the global class is the bootstrap so to say.

As to SRC vs. COdebehind. SRC allows you to keep the source file on disk and have it compiled on the fly. Codebehind means the class is compiled and lives in an assembly in the BIN directory (your Web project).
