ASP.NET Page Variables Persistence

Hi,

I am designing an ASP.NET application in which particular pages require global variables that need to be persisted during postbacks. What is the best practice to do this?

Is it to use the viewstate object or is declaring the variables as static sufficient (I am currently using this method)?

Thank you,

Mark Anthony Spiteri

You'll need to use the ViewState object, or perhaps the Session
object. A static variable isn't enough - in a web environment the
application is restarted for every request, so your static variables
are being reinitialised.

Are the values of the page global variables supposed to be the same
for all of the users who visit the page?

No,

each user will have different variable values. Thus making use of the Application Object is futile.

Yes, this also rules out using static variables. As suggested, Session
state and Viewstate are both options.

Hi Global variables are not truly global in Python ; they are only global within a module namespace.

If I change value of i in foo.py to say 5 and now I print value of i in bar.py ,it should print 5.How to do this?? --

Hi everyone, I've been using ASP on a few different projects over the past year, either using Javascript or VBScript.

I've also read on many ASP resource sites (such as fuzzysoftware.com, etc) that the use of session variables can be a no-no, while others say that it's perfectly valid to use...

This should be easy, but I can't immediately see what the answer is... I have some code which needs to be re-entrant. It also needs to create a unique identifier. The obvious way to create a unique ID is to maintain a static counter, and to increment it each time it's needed. Any ideas on how to do this in a re-entrant way? I don't call this code (it's Yacc output), so I can't suppy anything on the stack.
