AuthenticateRequest 2

Indicates that the AuthenticateRequest event was raised for the request and is processing.

Indicates that the AuthorizeRequest event was raised for the request and is processing.

ResolveRequestCache 8

Indicates that the ResolveRequestCache event was raised for the request and is processing.

MapRequestHandler 16

Indicates that the MapRequestHandler event was raised for the request and is processing.

AcquireRequestState 32

Indicates that the AcquireRequestState event was raised for the request and is processing.

PreExecuteRequestHandler 64

Indicates a point in the application life cycle just before the handler that processes the request is mapped.

Examples

The following example shows how to use the RequestNotification enumeration with the CurrentNotification property to determine which event of the current HttpApplication instance is processing the request.

C#
using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Security;
using System.Web.UI;

// Module that demonstrates one event handler for several events.
namespace Samples
{
    public class ModuleExampleTestCS : IHttpModule
    {
        public ModuleExampleTestCS()
        {
            // Constructor
        }
        public void Init(HttpApplication app)
        {
            app.AuthenticateRequest += new EventHandler(App_Handler);
            app.PostAuthenticateRequest += new EventHandler(App_Handler);
            app.LogRequest += new EventHandler(App_Handler);
            app.PostLogRequest += new EventHandler(App_Handler);
        }
        public void Dispose()
        {
        }
        // One handler for AuthenticationRequest, PostAuthenticateRequest,
    // LogRequest, and PostLogRequest events
        public void App_Handler(object source, EventArgs e)
        {
            HttpApplication app = (HttpApplication)source;
            HttpContext context = app.Context;

            if (context.CurrentNotification == RequestNotification.AuthenticateRequest)
            {

                if (!context.IsPostNotification)
                {
                    // Put code here that is invoked when the AuthenticateRequest event is raised.
                }
                else
                {
                    // PostAuthenticateRequest 
                    // Put code here that runs after the AuthenticateRequest event completes.
                }
            }
            if (context.CurrentNotification == RequestNotification.LogRequest)
            {
                if (!context.IsPostNotification)
                {
                    // Put code here that is invoked when the LogRequest event is raised.
                }
                else
                {
                    // PostLogRequest
                    // Put code here that runs after the LogRequest event completes.
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Remarks

The RequestNotification enumeration is used with the CurrentNotification property of the HttpContext class to determine what event in the pipeline is currently processing. To determine when all the handlers for a specific event of the HttpApplication instance have finished processing, use the IsPostNotification property.

The RequestNotification type is introduced in the .NET Framework 3.5. For more information, see Versions and Dependencies.
