我可以覆盖PreApplicationStartMethodAttribute吗？

Question

Many libraries nowadays auto-register/start using the PreApplicationStartMethodAttribute approach .

I don't like it. I want to control when the init code is run, for a variety of reasons. In many cases, I'd like to call init code myself from Application_Start .

Is there some way for me to intercept these calls and stop them?

Answer 1

I doubt you could stop all uses of this mechanism, because it would go counter to one of the fundamental purposes of the mechanism: to allow libraries and plugins to hook into the initialization phase and run their own initialization code, without the need for placing initialization code manually--to enable those libraries autonomous control of their initialization.

Let's consider what would happen if it were possible to shut off this mechanism: it would break libraries that depend on it for their initialization to execute early in the startup, earlier than Application_Start. It would also break libraries that don't document or specify a way for users to initialize the library manually.

I'm afraid the mechanism is meant to guarantee the opposite of what you wish to accomplish.
