Defines application-specific attributes used by the ASP.NET application compiler. The syntax for the @ Application directive is as follows.
<%@ Application attribute="value" [attribute=value ]%>
Attributes

Remarks
The Description and Inherits attributes can be declared together in the same @ Application directive, as shown in the example below.
Example
The following code instructs the ASP.NET application compiler to dynamically compile a new application class that extends the My401kApp.Object class.
<%@ Application Inherits="My401kApp.Object" Description="Our 401k app" %>
