global variables in .NET: how to store a connection string and have it available throughout..

[chris]

There's a simple answer I'm sure, but it's eluding me. If I want to declare
a variable and then initialize it in module A, then have it's initialized
value available in module B without passing it as an argument, how to do?

Thanks,
Chris

Hi chris,

VB.NET:
Module Module2

Public AValue As String = "Tubo"

End Module

Use: Dim s as string = Module2.AValue



C#:

public class Tubo

{

public static string AValue = "Tubo";

}

Use: string s = Tubo.AValue;

I tried this solution in storing the user's login name. The first .aspx file shows the initial value of the login name variable declared inside the module and prompts the user to enter his own login name . how come when I run the application in VS.NET again, the same login name last inputted shows up, it's like the module doesn't reset it's own value.

Hi Troy,

You should say that you are on the asp.net
Store it in the either Session collection (Session["key"] = value) or
Application collection (Application["key"] = value) .
