Global variables/objects

Administrator

Helo all, I would like to create some globally accessible variables and objects that would be available to all objects and classes within my project without having to pass as parameters or create some means of tracing back. I am particularly thinking of static things like a database connection string that will never change or even a SqlConnection object that I can open at the beginning and close at the end and all of the objects within the project can use. I have looked through my Microsoft book and my O'Reilly book and cannot find anything on application level variables. can someone please help me. Thank you in advance. Robert

Hi, This can also be done in one more way Variables can be stored in application level and can be accessed through out the application by saying Application["Vairablename"] = "VariableValue"; Thanks edward prakash

Create a public abstract class and inside that class create static members. Those static members are available anywhere in your application by using the fully qualified name of the static member i.e. MyAbstractClass.MyStaticMember. Alternately, you can place data, such as Data Connection strings, in the project config file. Data can also be stored in registry keys which you can access at runtime.
