Hi,

I am implementing a couple of webservices (all in the same web project)
that will access several backoffice systems to get and update different
types of information. All the methods in the several webservices return
a DataSet with the information requested.

All the methods of the Webservices also go through an initial phase of
checking either the Backoffice systems are online or not. If not, they
all return the SAME error DataSet.

To save lines of code (and the redundance of having the same code
repeated all over, with all the possible errors that can arise from
that), I am trying to do that check in the Application_BeginRequest
event, but without success...

So, my question is: Is it possible to use the Application_BeginRequest
event to catch the calls to all the methods of all the webservices, and
return a standard answer to the clients in case of error and not
continue the normal flow of the method called? If so, how can I achieve
that? If not, is there any other way?

I am at a loss...

Thank you in advance,
Ana Santana
