Why CSS files are affected by Application_BeginRequest in global asax

I want to handle only for actions but looks like Application_BeginRequest method handles also CSS, images etc...

How to avoid it ?

Because sounds like I can't override content only for actions:

HttpContext.Current.RewritePath("~/Maintenance.html");

The HttpApplication.BeginRequest Event "occurs as the first event in the HTTP pipeline chain of execution when ASP.NET responds to a request."

So any request going through your ASP.NET pipeline will trigger this, not just *.aspx, etc.

You can't avoid it, but you can check the path of the requested file and perform and action as needed, like:

protected void Application_BeginRequest(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    string file = Request.Url.LocalPath.ToLower();
    if (file == ("/user/singin"))
    {
        //something
    }
}

Though there may be another way altogether to accomplish your goal (which isn't clear from your question).

If you want to restrict doing something only to web forms requests, I've used something like the following:

protected void Application_BeginRequest(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    if(HttpContext.Current.Request.CurrentExecutionFilePathExtension == ".aspx"){
         //stuff to do
    }
}
