asp.net 2/C#

I have noticed that during periods of inactivity on my website, the
Application_Start event is firing about every 40-45 minutes. Is this
normal? Shouldn't the app start once and remain running until I stop
it?

Not necessary, some worker processes might be set to recycle, or recycling
for lack of resources or failures.

Check application pool(s)
check World Wide Web Publishing Service
monitor your resources.

You don't start or stop the Application in this sense...

Application_Start fires when the first Session is created and
Application_End fires when the last Session ends.

Mark,

Please define first Session and last Session

When a client browser first sends a Request to a web application running
under IIS, a Session is created...

If no other Sessions are in existence at that moment, Application_Start
fires.

When a Session dies, if no other Sessions are in existence at that moment,
Application_End fires.

Completely.

I believe Application_Start fires even when Session State is disabled. It
fires in response to the first request coming in, not due to "Session".
Also, if an application recycles on its own either due to memory pressure or
IIS settings, Application_End will fire and Application_Start will fire again
when the new appdomain comes up. That behavior would be independent of any
requests.

It's normal. The web server may stop web applications that aren't active
to preserve resources. The application starts again whenever someone
requests anything from it.
