Some times this may be the case when you use http handlers.

also i would like to know the hosting enviornment.

when you set break point in global.asax, is there any error message comming when you mouse hover on brekpoint sign while debugging ?

there may be the case that application is not compiled properly, and it's no hitting the breakpoint.

try this out if that is the case.

1) close vs 2005

2) reset IIS

3) remove all files from C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temp orary ASP.NET Files\[Your Application Name]

4) rebuild your solution and try to debug again.
