Use global asax in place of OWIN Startup class

question
1

I would like to add the following code in global asax file since we cannot use OWIN in our ASP.Net Webforms app. This code needs to go into Application_Start event.

Question :What will be the corresponding code for using in Application_Start event of global asax?

public class Startup
{
    public void Configuration(IAppBuilder app)
    {
        // Map Dashboard to the `http://<your-app>/hangfire` URL.
        app.UseHangfireDashboard();
    }
}

Hello,

You may use the following code in your global.asax to setup the job server but you won’t be able to use the dashboard without OWIN.

using Hangfire;
using System;

namespace WebAPI
{
    public class Global : System.Web.HttpApplication
    {
        private BackgroundJobServer _backgroundJobServer;
        protected void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.UseSqlServerStorage("<hangfire connection string>");
            _backgroundJobServer = new BackgroundJobServer();
        }

        protected void Application_End(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            _backgroundJobServer.Dispose();
        }
    }
}

and something like app.UseHangfire or config.UseAuthorizationFilters how could be moved from startup to global asax?

Believe it or not. i need a solution to this now. I managed to bypass OWIN Startup so far but I just cannot figure out this Dashboard thin now. and I cannot just switch to OWIN. I need to enable Dashboard with custom Basic username/password protection and NOT affect the site’s SSO authentication and filter already setup.
