None.

One is used when coding inline; the other when coding in code-behind.

HttpContext.Cur rent is a static method that return the current http context

Context is an instance method defined in the page class that returns the
current http context (it really just calls the above function).

I had a question about accessing HttpContext.User in global.asax. I was trying to access HttpContext.User in Application_BeginRequest() which had a null value as opposed to containing a valid GenericPrincipal while accessing it from a Page_Init() method of the same application. When does the HttpContext.User get initialized in the life-cycle? Why cannot I access the same in Application_BeginRequest() ? Thanks Viktor

I have a serious issue that seems to be intermittent with User.Identity.Name. In an environment where about 100+ users are logging on to a site with forms authentication, calling HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name returns the correctly logged on user. However, 10% of the time (I'm guessing under stress conditions or simulataneous requests), the wrong user info is being returned.

I'm working on a IHttpModule that handles the PreSendRequestHeaders event from the HttpApplication, if the event is raised after EndRequest then HttpContext.Current is null.

Hi, I am using HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name to get a user id from a web application. I then use that as part of a name of a cookie I'm writing. 30 minutes later I do a refresh of this page and try to access that cookie. However, because I am using HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name to get the user id to know what that cookie name even is, I am having problems because apparently after 30 minutes...

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,...
