update global.asax not only global.asax.cs

Question

Inside my local publish folder I have Global.asax and Global.asax.cs where Global.asax is not updated (dated one month ago) and Global.asax.cs is updated.

I check the "Build action" of the Global.asax file which is set to "Content" and Copy always in the file properties.

How to update global.asax together with global.asax.cs on publish command?

Answer 1

Global.asax doesn't usually change. Global.asax is compiled into a class deriving from the Global class in your Global.asax.cs.

You don't have to do anything for that. The server's compiler will pick it up itself. You just need to copy the Global.asax to your production server, where the Global.asax.cs will be compiled into an assembly.
