How to Load Website Properties and Store Them All at Once?
Question posted by: vunet

July 21st, 2008 03:05 PM
I have some properties data to be loaded for the site use, such as:
website url, admin email, mailing component to use, etc. for my ASP
website. They will be stored in a database, or I also consider XML and/
or .inc text file.
What is the best practice to load them once when user starts website
browsing and keep them until user leaves the site?
I considered Global.asa, but I know there must be one per application.
I may have 2 same applications or more under different directories
thus more than 1 asa will be used.
Should I use "session" or "application" objects and how to use them
for my case?
Should I consider XML or text file instead of database? How faster are
they if I consider under 10 properties to store?
Thanks for any advice.

If you have multiple applications that wish to share settings then its best
to store them in a DB.
Load them into the application object on application start using the
Global.asa.

If I use my app on a few other servers, then is it true I cannot use
Global.asa without its modification? In other words, can I pack my app
with Global.asa and distribute to whatever I want? I thought I cannot.
Thanks.

I do it all the time. What gave you the idea that you couldn't?
You cannot access another application's global.asa, but you can
certainly copy the file into another application ...

So if I understand this should be possible:
my web site is under folder "mysite" and it contains Global.asa as in
"mysite/Global.asa". I make 2 copies of my site like this:
root/website1/mysite/
and
root/website2/mysite/
where Global.asa will be under each mysite folder. Is this a correct
idea? Please confirm. But then how does the server know where to find
Global.asa? Especially if I have no access to web server admin rights?
Thanks

Sure, why not? As long as each one is defined as an application using
IIS Manager, there is not issue here.
