Hello,
I'm using application variables for a web based sales tracking
application. I use the variables for stuff like connection string,
database name, etc. I store the values in a asp file that is included
in a login page. The assignments are in a routine/procedure that I
then call on the login page. This is done everytime a user connects to
the login page.
So, what's happening to the variables? Are they being overwritten
everytime a user accesses the page? I'm not checking for the existence
of the variables. I just call the routine everytime the page is
accessed. I know the values are shared for all users but, I was
wondering if I should check for the existence of the variables? Will
it free up resources? Should I be using locks?
Thanks.

Yes, they are probably being overwritten. Is there any reason you're not
creating the variables in Application_OnS tart in a global.asa file?

I think you are confusing application and session. Sessions survive the
lifetime of a user connected to the application. The application outlasts
user sessions. It would make more sense, as Ray suggests, to populate these
variables in application_ons tart.

What's the benefits of using the global.asa file versus an asp
include? Also, when creating the application folder in IIS, does it
automatically create a global.asa file?

benefits vs an include? well, they're two different animals, but basically a
global.asa runs at the start of the session and the start of an application,
so it's the logical place to set app and session variables which don't
depend on some sort of user input.
no, a global.asa is not created automatically by IIS, but may be created by
your editor, depending on what you use

I'm having trouble with the workflow described bellow:
1. Asp page 1 on server A contains an iframe.
2. Asp page 1 submits a form targeted to the iframe, to Asp page 2 on
server B.
3. Asp page 2 runs in the iframe and at some point might decide to submit a
form targeted to the _top frame, to page 3 on Server B.
4. Page 3 loads in the top frame.
This usually works well, but occasionally when page 3 loads various asp

All,
As I understand it, a single application (i.e. IIS virtual directory)
in ASP.NET may in fact have more than one corresponding
HttpApplicationState object (more or less one per server thread, I
think). During each request, only one of these objects is exposed to
the page as Page.Application. This seems to be supported by the fact
that when I use the debugger, I can see the Application_Start event
firing more than one time even...

Hi
I have a declared a static DataSet object SOBJ in Global.asax.I also have a
localy defined DataSet LSOBJ in Global.asax which I am storing in Application
State.Is there any technical differences in the way both the objects are
handled by IIS.
Are both objects stored in different memory spaces?
I can access both the objects in my web page.
I will be grateful if some one can help me understand the difference.
