Read Only Application Object
Requirement: 
Pre-Load the ASP.NET Application object and don’t allow other pages in your project to add/modify/delete. Basically, make Application read-only. 
Solution: 
         private void SetApplicationReadOnlyStatus( bool state ) {                   Type type = Application.GetType().BaseType;                   PropertyInfo readPropInfo = type.GetProperty("IsReadOnly",  BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance) ;                   if( readPropInfo != null ) {                         readPropInfo.SetValue( Application,Convert.ChangeType(state,readPropInfo.PropertyType ) ,null);                   }             }             private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e) {                   Application["MyKey"] = "myValue";                   // Set application to readonly so that we will not allow any changes.                   SetApplicationReadOnlyStatus( true );                   try                   {                         // Try setting a value                          Application["MyKey"] = "New value";                         Response.Write("You won't see this");                   }                   catch(Exception ex) {                         // You'll end up here                         Response.Write(ex.Message);                 }             } 
Thanks to Sairama for the code! Set the ASP.NET Application Object to Read-Only. [Scott Hanselman's Weblog]
