how to get a value of a variable from another page?

[michaeldebruin]

Hello all,

I've made a variable in my masterpage but is here anyone who knows how I can get the value of it when being on a webpage?
I know the masterpage is the general page. But when loading it I am creating a new bool variable, but I want to be able to get the value of it and changing to value of it when being on for example the default page. Anyone any ideas?

Thnx in advance

What exactly do you want to do, do you want to be on the page, click something and go back to default with the value?

Yeah srry my description is a little bit confusing. What I want is a variable stored somewhere and I want to be able to get the variable on every webpage. For example if I start my website as soon as the default webpage comes up. I must have created a boolean variable and when I click on a button which links me to another webpage, that webpage must be able to get the variable and it's value. The boolean variable must work just like a session when logged in.
So that means that when I log in, I must be able to change the value of the bool.
With C# I already did something like this but then I just stored the variable in a settings file, on that way it was possible to get the value of the variable anywhere I want. So if you have any ideas how to do this with a ASPX website I would like to hear that.

I know there are better ways to do something like this and also safer ways but the website is not going online anyway, it is just for a school project.

Go into Web.Config, read an article on how to add a new key to appsettings

Then all you do is bool myBool = ConfigurationMa nager.AppSettin gs["your key name"].ToString();

or else store it in a session variable, that way you will always be able to use it.
