"global var" will give you a global variable named "var".

You can, but you probably don't want to. What's your use case? Example
code and what you'd like it to do would be helpful.

Whether this advice is correct or not depends greatly on what the OP means by
'global' :)

Module global, it's right, application global it's wrong. Given the nature of
the question, I suspect the latter.

Cheers,
Nick.

And even there, one must be careful. "global var" won't really give you
a global variable; it will cause the name "var", when used locally, to
refer to a pre-existing module-level reference "var". No variables are
actually created in the execution of "global var".

Hi and Season's Greetings to all. I have a question regarding the use of a qualifier word "Global". I cannot find any reference to this in Access help, nor in books or on the Internet. "Global" seems to be recognised by Access in at least three cases:- 1) "Global Const". Recently someone in this group helped me resolve a problem, and it involved the use of a Global Const. By Googling "Global Const", I got plenty of hits -- but they...

When I wrote websites in VB .NET, I would often put functions in Global for all the pages to call. Now, in C#, doing so results in "references to non-static objects" and whatnot. I realize what that means and all, but what I'm wondering is what's the best way around it? Say, for example, I want a function that takes a username and a password and returns true or false if it's a successful login, and I want any page or usercontrol in the...

A global variable is really just a property of the "Global Object", so what does that make a function defined in the global context? A method of the Global Object? http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Core_JavaScript_1.5_Guide:Defining_Functions doesn't actually give any insight.

Just starting to move to ASP.NET 2.0 and having trouble with the Global.asax code file. In 1.1 I could have a code behind file for the global.asax file. This allow for shared variables of the Global class. Note: I use these shared variables for read only values that are set at application start. It would appear the 2.0 doesn't like you to use shared variables in the global class. How do I convert my 1.1 applications to 2.0 without...
