    Extending Global.asax to create custom MVC routes

    Hi,

    I'm trying to add a custom route based on the instructuions from here http://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Reference/Mvc/custom-routes

    The problem is that OnApplicationStarted doesn't fire.

    public class Global : Umbraco.Web.UmbracoApplication
    {
        protected override void OnApplicationStarted(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            base.OnApplicationStarted(sender, e);
            RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
        }

        public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
        {
            routes.MapRoute("SiteMapXml", "sitemap.xml", new { controller = "SiteMapXmlSurface", action = "SiteMapXml" });
        }
    }

    Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? The site is on V 6.1.2.2 installed in an MVC 4 project as a NuGet package.

    Thanks!

    I'm having the exact same issue and cannot determine the cause. I'm on 6.1.3, also installed in an MVC4 project as a NuGet package.

    Global.asax:

    <%@ Application Codebehind="Global.asax.cs" Inherits="Umbraco.Web.UmbracoApplication" Language="C#" %>

    Global.asax.cs:

    using NS3.WebApp;
    using System;
    using System.Web.Routing;

    public class Global : Umbraco.Web.UmbracoApplication
    {
      protected override void OnApplicationStarted(object sender, EventArgs e)
      {
        base.OnApplicationStarted(sender, e);
        System.IO.File.WriteAllText("C:\\scripts\\blah.txt", "hello! " + DateTime.Now.ToString());
        RouteConfig.RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
      }
    }

    I added the line to write to a file to confirm whether or not it was getting called. It is not getting called at all.

    So close!

    You need to update your Global.asax Inherits attribute to reference your new Global class.

    e.g

    <%@ Application Codebehind="Global.asax.cs" Inherits="MyNewApp.Global" Language="C#" %>

    Hope that works :)
