Access Application object from class

[Cliff Harris]

I have a utilities class in my ASP.Net application that encapsulates
functions that I use often. I would like to use this class to access some
object that I have acces to on a page, like Request, Response, and
Application... is there any way for me to access these without having to
pass them in a parameters to my functions?

Thanks,
-Cliff

if you don't want them as parameters, put them in the class constructor as a
parameter. When your class instantiates, you save references to these
objects. You should realize from here that saving references to intrinsic
ASP.NET objects is not a good idea at all. I'd stick with passing parameters
if I were you.

the best way is:

1) derive a class from Page
2) add member function, property, etc... to this class
3) derive all your WebForm from this page

Enjoy.

I guess I forgot to mention a key part of this... this class has nothing but
static members... I never instantiate it....
From the sound of things, it looks like I'd be wise just passing things in
as parameters...

Thanks for the help,

You can access it like,

httpcontext.Current.session or httpcontext.current.request
