A NuGet package that allows other packages to execute some startup code in web apps.

WebActivator is a NuGet package that allows other packages to easily bring in Startup and Shutdown code into a web application. This gives a much cleaner solution than having to modify global.asax with the startup logic from many packages.

You can find more information and its source at the project's Github Page.

Installation

WebActivator can most easily be installed through its NuGet package.
