web.config fires application_start

[barak]

Hi.
I noticed that when I change the timeout of the session
in web.config, the event application_start in global.asax
is raise, although I make no compilation.
is it normal?
is there a way to change the session timeout without
firing the application_start event>
thanks
Barak

anytime the web.config is altered it restarts the application.

Yes, from code:
Session.TimeOut=Whatever
