Getting the HttpContext from within a library...

[Jay Williams]

How do I get the current HttpContext when I'm in a Class Library (not from
within an ASP.NET page)? I seem to remember calling GetCurrent from somewhere
before but don't remember the details. The business object is being used from
within a Web app, so there should be an HttpContext available...just can't
get it.

Thanks,
Jay

You can use System.Web.HttpContext.Current

Unfortunately, when I type "System.Web...", all Intellisense shows me is
three methods having to do with AspNetHostingPermission.... Nothing else.

That's why I need to call GetCurrent from somewhere, I think.

You need to reference System.Web.dll in your project. The VS template for
non-web projects does not include it by default.

The suspense is killing me!

By what?

I think part of your response got lost.
