**APM Agent language and version** : [ASP.Net](http://ASP.Net) Full Framework 1.1.2

I'm trying to integrate the Full Framework agent into .Net 4.6.2 Web application via the IHttpModule

```
 <add name="ElasticApmModule" type="Elastic.Apm.AspNetFullFramework.ElasticApmModule" preCondition="managedHandler"/>

```

The application is hosted in IIS and the requests we are making to the application are handled by Web API controllers.

Everything seems to be working perfectly until I try to start or capture a span from the current transaction for some custom backend/library requests/calls we are making from our application.

If the application is getting multiple requests it looks like the CurrentTransaction is null.

```
ITransaction transaction = Elastic.Apm.Agent.Tracer.CurrentTransaction;
// this returns null for some requests.

```

Have you seen any issues related to what I'm experiencing?

Best regards,  
Sigurbjorn

HI @sgudjonsson - welcome to the forum!

Your issue might be related to [this discussion](https://github.com/elastic/apm-agent-dotnet/issues/83#issuecomment-516472934) although I am not sure what you mean by

> Everything seems to be working perfectly

Do you mean that for your application, automatically captured transactions contain expected automatically captured spans (DB or outgoing HTTP calls)?
