Global.asax has the wrong code

I'm writing my first ASP.NET application and following the instructions in Wrox book I added the Global Application Class. However, when I open it, the C# code looks nothing like the sample in the book. All I have is two events - the Application_Start and Application_End. No session events where I can add (global) variables to my session. Any ideas ?

Can't you just type the method signatures you want right into the class, like Session_Start, Session_End, and so on?

Thanks. I did actually think about that but was curious why VS 2005 had presented me with a different script. I wondered whether it was some parameter setting in VS.

I think the template that creates that class is probably different among various versions of VS.

Found the problem. I created the project using Create in the Start Page and configured it as an ASP.NET 2.0 application. In fact I should have gone to File > New and created it as a web site. Thanks.
