stopping a .asax service?

Question

hey guys i need to control the global.asax from a separate web page. like a simple button will disable the application start module without restarting the whole system. this button is on a different webpage. any clue?

Ok Mr. Super User lol.. friend check Do you like this answer check box if my answer helps you :) Now Application Startup code will only execute when you make Status true else if make sttus false some other code will run . Global.asax code ------------------------- void Application_Start(object sender EventArgs e) { if (Convert.ToBoolean(Session[AppStartStatus]) == true) { //Code to Do Something While } else if (Convert.ToBoolean(Session[AppStartStatus]) == false) { //Do Somthing if AppStartStatus is false } else if(Session[AppStartStatus] == null) { //Make AppStart Status By default true Session[AppStartStatus] = true; } } Page Code ------------------ protected void Button1_Click( object sender EventArgs e) { // Stop the Application Start Code Session[ AppStartStatus ] = false ; }

dude the code doesnt work. void Application_Start(object sender EventArgs e) { if (Convert.ToBoolean(Session[AppStartStatus]) == true) { // Code that runs on application startup // Warranty Automation Application SqlConnection conGlobal = new SqlConnection (@Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFileName=|DataDirectory|\TRANE.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True); conGlobal.Open(); string selService; selService = Select * From ServiceLink WHERE DatetimeSched=' + DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString() + '; SqlCommand globalCom = new SqlCommand(selService conGlobal); SqlDataReader globalReader = globalCom.ExecuteReader(); if (globalReader.HasRows) { while (globalReader.Read()) { string affectedserials; affectedserials = globalReader[UnitSerial].ToString(); //create the mail message MailMessage mail = new MailMessage(); //set the addresses mail.From = new MailAddress(traneconnext@gmail.com); mail.To.Add(trane_service@yahoo.com); // the password for both email addresses is new12345@ //set the content mail.Subject = Service Notification; mail.Body = A Product with Serial#:  + affectedserials.ToString() +  needs a service visit. Please check the Service Link records right away; //send the message SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient(); smtp.EnableSsl = true; smtp.Send(mail); } globalReader.Close(); string updateDate; updateDate = UPDATE ServiceLink SET DatetimeSched = ' + DateTime.Now.AddMonths(6).ToShortDateString() + ' WHERE DatetimeSched = ' + DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString() + '; SqlCommand comDateupdate = new SqlCommand(updateDate conGlobal); comDateupdate.ExecuteNonQuery(); } } else if (Convert.ToBoolean(Session[AppStartStatus]) == false) { //create the mail message MailMessage mail = new MailMessage(); //set the addresses mail.From = new MailAddress(traneconnext@gmail.com); mail.To.Add(trane_service@yahoo.com); // the password for both email addresses is new12345@ //set the content mail.Subject = Service Notification; mail.Body = Service Link is disabled.; //send the message SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient(); smtp.EnableSsl = true; smtp.Send(mail); } else if (Session[AppStartStatus] == null) { //Make AppStart Status By default true Session[AppStartStatus] = true; } } i get a startup error saying that appstartstatus is not part of the current context. any help?
