Global Variable declaration?

[pieandpeas]

Is there a way of declaring a global variable in a masterpage that can be accessed from every aspx page the masterpage is linked to?
Thanks

Hi,

You can store the value of Request.Cookies ("Admin")("Supp lierID")
in Session to make it global.

e.g. Session("AdminS upplierId") = Request.Cookies ("Admin")("Supp lierID")

Yeah i would have used that, but the project unfortunately (for me) requires a global variable instead of a session, cookie etc..
Just wondering if this is indeed possible.

Thanks again

Have you tried creating ab ase class for the master page to inherit from which contains a static variable of your intended "global" variable.

I am not sure if this would work for web apps, but Sessions seem to be the best bet.

Hi,

You can also try viewstate , syntax is similar to sessions.

Or declare a class and property inside it which will return the value you want.

e.g.

Public Class Globals
Public ReadOnly Property getID() As int
...........
End Property
End class
