Yes I could use the session, but then I am storing the values once for each
user. It will work but is not exactly what I had in mind.
I just want to store a value that all users will be able to access that will
scale to a web farm.
maybe storing in the sesion onject is the best way..

Could you not use the session? That would be independent of a single
application on a specific server.

where is the best place to keep global variables in asp.net.
I want to load a value from a database when the application starts. I
know that i can load this is application_start which is fine. I also know
that mostly storing a global value in an application variable whould be good,
like
application("Variablename") = 5
However I don't wish to do this because application scope does not scale
to a web farm.
should I just do my database call at the start of every page or is there
an easier way.
cheers
