request, session and application 'not defined'?

[James R. Davis]

I am building a set of shared functions and subroutines in a vb file located
in my App_Code section of my application. The first three functions went
fine and work as expected. But I am now starting a subroutine that must
work with certain server variables and I have been stopped cold.

This is the code that frustrates me:

Sub GetConfig()
Dim strPathURL as string
strPathURL = Left (Request.Server Variables("Path _Info"),
InStrRev(Reques t.ServerVariabl es("Path_Info") , "/"))
....
end Sub

Visual Studio states that [Name 'Request' is not declared.]

Indeed, it does the same for any statement I try that uses 'Request',
'Server', 'Session' or 'Application'.

I started the VB page with:
Imports Microsoft.Visua lBasic

Imports System.Data



What more do I need to do? Thanks!!

Re: request, session and application 'not defined'?

The actual classes are: HTTPRequest, HTTPServer and HTTPSession. But, you
can use Request, Server and Session if you have System.Web imported in your
code. Do you?

Re: request, session and application 'not defined'?

I did not have System.Web imported but when I added it there was no change
whatever in the VS diagnostic.

Further, when I tried changing the Request to HTTPRequest the diagnostic
changed to:
"Reference to a non-shared member requires an object reference"

All I am trying to do is convert some ASP code to ASP.NET as a learning
strategy. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Re: request, session and application 'not defined'?

You do have a reference to System.Web, right?

Re: request, session and application 'not defined'?

Import System.Web and then use HttpContext.Cur rent.Request

The static property Current on the HttpContext class can be useful whenever
the flow of control leaves the code in your Page derived web form. Using this
property you can reach out and magically grab the current Request, Response,
Session, and Application objects (and more) for the request you are servicing
