Have you tried http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15872770/global-asax-in-umbraco-6

I think this will help: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15872770/global-asax-in-umbraco-6

Basically:

• Make a class that inherits from Umbraco.Web.UmbracoApplication
• Implement Session_Start
• Change your Global.asax file to point to the new class you made

Example:

using System;

namespace My.Namespace
{
    public class Global : Umbraco.Web.UmbracoApplication
    {
        protected void Session_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            //Do your thing
        }
    }
}

Global.asax should then look like this:

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

Yes but Session_Start still doesn't get called. Any ideas?

@Lee What exactly have you done? Example code please?

Ahh.. I think that may be the issue (I didn't write this code)..

I had this..

using System;

namespace My.Namespace
{
    public class Global : Umbraco.Web.UmbracoApplication
    {
        protected void Session_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            //Do your thing
        }
    }
}

But my Global asax was

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

Instead of

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

Session_Start now firing!! yey!

Cheers guys!
