Application_Start() & Application_End() methods are not fired in startup.cs class in asp.net MVC 5

Question

There is no Global.aspx.cs class in ASP.NET MVC 5 application where I can have the methods Application_Start() and Application_End().
Is there any way to invoke these methods in MVC 5 application?

Answer 1

You can manually add Global.asax to your project as mentioned here.

Otherwise, you can use Configuration(IAppBuilder app) or constructor in your Startup.cs. Configuration is called "slightly later" than Application_Start as mentioned in detail here.
