How to access HttpContext from standalone class

[julian]

I'm getting "'HttpContext' does not exist in the class or namespace
'System.Web'" from trying to build (with Microsoft Development
Environment 2003, ver. 7.1.3088, .NET Framework 1.1, ver. 1.1.4322)
something like this:

using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Specialized;
using System.Text;

namespace A
{
public class A
{
public A()
{
// get value from HTTP header
NameValueCollection collection;
collection = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.ServerVaria bles;

// etc., etc.
}
}
}
What I would like to do is to create a standalone class "A", which can
be used in an aspx file like so:

<%@ Import Namespace="A" %>
<script language="C#" runat="server">
void Page_Load( Object Sender, EventArgs e ) {
A a = new A();
// etc, etc.
}

I feel pretty stupid staring at a message like that, after having
checked

Is that class "A" defined in a separate class-library project?
Did you reference the System.Web dll there?

Yes (as in File->New->Project->Class Library).

Not besides fully qualifying HttpContext. But it makes no difference if
I include a "using System.Web;" statement. Can I reference System.Web
in another way?

I think what Hans means is, did you add a reference to System.Web.dll
in your class library project?

No - but I should have. It is now working. Thanks for the help, both!
