Using objects in ASP.NET?

[Brett]

In Coldfusion MX 6.1, they offer a feature named CFC or Coldfusion
components. These are basically classes that offer inheritence. I put
database calls, calculations, constants, etc, into these classes or
components. I instantiate them once for each user session through the
Application.cfm. Now the objects are loaded and available to the user
persistently because they are stored in session variables. This keeps me
from having to do file includes in my templates and avoids unnecessary disk
hits (file includes).

Does ASP.NET offer anything similar to the above?

Thanks,
Brett

ASP.Net doesn't, but object oriented programming does. Luckily, ASP.Net
runs off of object oriented languages, such as C# and VB.Net, which both
support static/shared members

public class Utility
public shared function DoSomething() as string
return "something"
end function
end class
in your code you can create
Utility.DoSomething()
