How to detect a shutdown and run code before shutdown execution in MVC .NET

I have a web server cluster (windows 2008) that collects usage data from clients. The servers all batch the data and send after a certain time or amount of data. The problem is we are using AWS auto-scaling, and the machine can be shut down at any time. I would like to detect a shutdown event and send the usage data to the database before the application is killed. Does anyone know if this is possible?

WebActivator is NuGet package designed to clean up application Start and Shutdown registrations.

This will register your MyStaticClass.Start() and MyStaticClass.Shutdown() methods:

[assembly: WebActivator.PostApplicationStartMethod(typeof(MyStaticClass), "Start")]
[assembly: WebActivator.ApplicationShutdownMethod(typeof(MyStaticClass), "Shutdown")]

You can subscribe to this event and perform your logic before the application is shutdown.

Application.Current.Exit +=DoSomething;

I would say, you can perform these tasks (in code/ yourself) when your server goes back up.

Otherwise look here http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/bd8ea190-9bf4-4915-8ed9-96ee5d6f336a/when-are-windows-server-20032008-shutdown-scripts-run-in-the-shutdown-process
