Thanks for Karl's informative inputs.
Hi kenfine,
I think Karl's suggestions are quite reasonable. The behavior is just the
same no matter in asp.net 1.x or 2.x. Also, it's better that we guarantee
the component is used in asp.net web application only since the HttpContext
won't exists in other desktop or service app.
Thanks,
Steven Cheng

| This is true in 1.x as well. Request/Response/... are available in
| codebehind 'cuz your class inherits from Control (via Page/UserControl)
| which exposes this properties. Your custom class, which doesn't inherit
| from such as base class doesn't have these things set up (and it
shouldn't).
| So you hook into the page framework via HttpContext.Current.
|
| Anyways, to get to your question, are there any downside? Well, you are
| tying your custom class to the web, but I can't say if that's a downside
or
| not in this situation. Do you ever plan on reusing this class inside a
dos
| console, web service or win form?HttpContext.Current will be null in
those
| situations, so HttpContext.Current.Response will throw a null reference
| exception. There's nothing wrong with building a this type of
dependency,
| but the class shouldn't be considered part of your business layer
| anymore...it is now part of your presentation layer.
