title: How to keep Global.asax from being compiled into the app
body: <p>Working with a MVC3/.NET Framework4/IIS7.5 app that in previous deployments has included the Gobal.asax.cs copied to the server. Some setting or configuration has changed that behavior now to include just the Global.asax with none of the codebehind included. The properties setting shows Copy Always | BuildAction Content which is, I think, what it should be. </p>
  
  <p>I'm deploying via FileSystem (a vpn connection to my remote host) because I presume that to be the fewest deployment hoops - I know from my point of view it's preferable to the alternate deployment methods. </p>
  
  <p>Is that having an effect on how Global.asax is being treated - where else should I be looking?</p>
  
  <p>thx</p>
