Storing structured types in request

[Dharmesh]

Hi every1,

I am learning ASP.NET and came accross problem of storing my classes object
and I want its scope to be request. Is there a way do that. I found the only
way to store structured values in with scope request was with ViewState, but
for the ViewState to work the page has to post back to itself. But my page
does not posts back.

I would really appreciate your help.

Thank you very much,

Dharmesh

Are you sure you need "request" scope? It's not very long, from the moment the
browser requests a url in your site to the moment the server is done processing it.
Even if the generated page contains images, those are requested via new requests.

You can add (private) variables to the page's codebehind that you can use during
processing. No concurrence problems: every request to that page gets serviced
by a new instance of this class.

Yes!! I need request scope. So do you mean to say there is no way?

Use the Items collection of HttpContext.

I have an article with some discussion:
