In IIS 7.0 HttpContext.Current property in Application_Start cannot be accessed

Hi,
One of the major changes in IIS 7.0 is that the HTTP context is not available in the application_start event. If you try to work with the http context (with the help of Httpcontext.current) in the application_start event in global.asax then you will receive an ASP.NET 500 – Server Error: Request is not available in this context.
In IIS 7.0 the Application Initialization has been decoupled from the request that has triggered the application start and hence the request is not available in the vent. In the classic mode , it was possible for us to indirectly access the request as the Asp.net initialization directly coupled with the request for which the application was started.
The problem can easily be worked with a workaround by using a static constructor, which is fired when the object is accessed first. We can keep a flag in the Application_Beginrequest event and easily determine the request that initialized the application.
