Variable Scope and IIS

TSW
I am a fairly new programmer who is seeking some insight
into variable scope and IIS.

I have recently completed development on an ASP.Net
application (VB.Net). In order to make certain variables
available to all my subroutines I defined them as
follows: Shared VariableName

While this met my immediate need, it appears to be
causing problems when several users are accessing my
application concurrently. User A is getting variable
information from User B, etc.

I was under the impression that IIS created a unique
instance of my application for each user and that all
variable information would be available only to that
specific user. It appears that my assumption was
incorrect.

My question is as follows: How can I dimension variables
that are available to all of the sub routines contained
in my class file, but at the same time limit the scope to
the user that initiated the application?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
TSW

There is only ONE application. All code runs in that context.
My question is as follows: How can I dimension variables
that are available to all of the sub routines contained
in my class file, but at the same time limit the scope to
the user that initiated the application?
Session will store them in a Collection that is available to all pages of a
single User. ViewState will store data in a serializable Collection that
exists for the life of a single Page of a single User.

Is there any difference between declaring a variable at the top of a method versus in the code of the method? Is there a performance impact for either choice? What about if the method will return before the variable is used? I'm trying to get an idea of whether the .NET compilers for VB.NET and C# will move all variable declaration to the beginning of a method or whether they will allocate the memory as it is needed by the method to...

Gurus, If a static variable is defined in a class what is the scope of the variable resolved to for it to remain 'static'? For instance, lets say I create a class library assembly that is strongly name which contains the class where the static variable is defined. This library can be referenced by multiple projects. I am fairly sure the static variable does not survive across the application boundry but does it within the application...

VARIABLE SCOPE IN JAVASCRIPT LEVEL: BEGINNER/INTERMEDIATE (INTERMEDIATE STUFF IN ) PREREQS: VARIABLES First off, what the heck is 'scope' (the kind that doesn't help kill the germs that cause bad breath)? Scope describes the context in which a variable can be used. For example, if a variable's scope is a certain function, then that variable can only be used in that function. If you were to try to access that variable anywhere else in...

Can we declare extern variable as static? What will be the scope of the variable then? What if we change the value of the variable in some other function?

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. 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,...
