Force ASP.NET Apps to Keep-Alive and Pre-Compile
Larry Silverman has taken my Keep-Alive / Pre-Compile code for ASP.NET and extended it a fair amount. I still get a lot of email about my version, so I thought I would share Larry's code for those interested. Larry's version works with Forms Authentication, solving one of the problems I left undone. It does require a super-user manually kick off the process, but that seems to be a fair tradeoff. He's also separated the keep-alive functionality from the pre-compilation, and added a base page class for pre-compilation to avoid real functionality. There's also an email sent about success or failure, along with the exceptions that occurred. So if you liked my keep-alive and pre-compile code, but need more, then this may be what you were looking for.
