Why not just add them to the application object, or put them in web.config
and read them in from there. Or you can code your global.asax as a class
and use shared (static) values accesible from anywhere in your web app..
<%@ Application Classname="MyGlobals" %>
<script language="VB" runat="server">
public shared UserCount as integer = 1
Sub Application_OnStart()
End Sub
Sub Session_OnStart()
End Sub
Sub Session_OnEnd()
End Sub
Sub Application_OnEnd()
End Sub
</script>

In InterDev, I frequently defined constants for my data-table field names,
then used #include statements to refer to the file(s) with those
declarations and substituted the constant declaration in any place where I
needed to refer to the field name. Is there any way to do the same sort
of thing in the <%# Container.DataItem (<field name>) %> references inside
.aspx files, for example, when creating DataLists (i.e. use a string
constant instead of a hard-coded string)?
