ASP in a Nutshell, 2nd Edition

Name

OnEnd — Application_OnEnd

Synopsis

The Application_ OnEnd event is triggered when the ASP application itself is unloaded from the web server (using the Microsoft Management Console) or when the application is inadvertently stopped for some reason (i.e., the web service is stopped on the web server). Application_OnEnd is called only once per application. The code for this event procedure resides in the GLOBAL.ASA file and is processed after all other code in the file. It is in the code for the Application_OnEnd event that you will "clean up" after any application-scoped variables.

Parameters

None

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBScript" RUNAT=Server> 
Sub Application_OnEnd

' This code will run on the server when
' the application stops.

Set filsysObj1 = _

Set tsObj1 = filsysObj1.CreateTextFile("c:\usrcount.txt", _

tsObj1.WriteLine(Application.Contents("AppUserCount"))
tsObj1.Close

End Sub
