Global.asax variables ?

WJ
I am storing my global variables in the application "global.asa x" file, some
are nd some are not sensitive. Is it OK to store sensitive data on Global
variables. Please note: some are created at Start of the app. some are
created at start of the request. I assume that these variables in the
global.asax file is "server side", therefore they do not travel to the
clients.

That's correct. The global asax file is specifically configured to not allow
serving. This setting may be overriden in the framework but it is on by
default so that shouldn't pose a problem. Typically, the use of global is
frowned upon because of the issues the cause with concurrent usage so just
bear that in mind.

So here's a rather simple question. Say in an ASP.NET application, I wish to share common constants as static variables in global.asax (I know there's web.config bla bla .. but lets just say I wanna use global.asax) --- Would you declare your static var as --- public static int x ;

I am attempting to use the Global.Asax to store my user's configuration. Here is the concept: 1. User logs on into the site using Form Authentication. 2. I capture the user Credential, verify it and then assign this Logon ID (user) a so called User's serverside cookie. 3. My system is configured to accept 1,024 concurrent users, this means that my Global.Asax will host no more than 1,024 Logon IDs and their associated cookies/variables....

I would like to access variables and functions that I declare in the Global.asax.vb file. However, I am having trouble doing that. What does the declaration have to look like in the Global.asax.vb file, and what would I do to access it? (I am using VB.NET for my code) Thanks. -- Nathan Sokalski njsokalski@hotmail.com http://www.nathansokalski.com/

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.

Just starting to move to ASP.NET 2.0 and having trouble with the Global.asax code file. In 1.1 I could have a code behind file for the global.asax file. This allow for shared variables of the Global class. Note: I use these shared variables for read only values that are set at application start. It would appear the 2.0 doesn't like you to use shared variables in the global class. How do I convert my 1.1 applications to 2.0 without...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
