How to stop processing request in global.asax

[GS]

What would be the sample code to stop processing any further requests in
Application_onStart within global.asax has failed? Response.End does not
work since there is no response object at the point of initializion.

OnStart happens before any request is in the pipeline.

Personally, I'd stick a value in the web.config and read said value in
BeginRequest. if it's true, I'd simply Response.End there.

in 2.0 you can also use an App_Offline.htm file, take a look at:

So how exactly I do that?
I don't know which page will be access first so in which page
"begin_request" event I need to put this in?
Generally what is prefered way to handle application initialization failures
in ASP.NET?

Begin Request is an event of the Global.asax

Thanks,

I use VS 2005 and it does not have this event when it created global.asax.

but you found it, right?

Yes,

Thanks for all your help.
The problem now is that BeginRequest is being executed for each new request
coming in and I want to stop processing anything if stuff in
Application_onStart was not initialized properly so BeginRequest is not
really a choice here.

Store a value in the Application object in Start, and check it during
BeginRequest...not sure how else you'll be able to do it..
