Accessing shared properties in a pge

[WFB]

Hi,

In asp.net 1.1, it was easy to add this to the properties of a page (class):

Public Shared ReadOnly Property URL(productId as String) As String
Get
Return AppPath & "/ProductDetails.aspx?productId=" & productId
End Get
End Property

Which I could then access from other pages (which stopped me having to
memorze and hardcode a URL in dozens of pages and user controls). However,
in 2.0 this functionality seems to have dissapeard. Is there any way to get
to this, or a reccomended altenate approach?

Thanks
Joe

Rather than attaching the method to the page, it might make more sense to
create a Utility class and add the method there.

Just add a new class, and mark the property shared.

I just got the kb alert a minute ago, which makes me think this may not be a
good idea. I've been doing this myself for a long time. <eek>

not with the ease.

when you run the wizard, it will create new class file in the appcode dir
that has this static method, and then change the page to inherit from it.
this will be great for your old pages, but a pain when you add new ones.

this comes about because in version 1, all the codebehinds went into 1 dll,
so they could reference each other, in 2.0 they go into seperate dlls (1 per
page), and app_code (1 dll for the dir) is where the shared code is.

In general, how are other people handling this (in 1.1 and 2.0)? Just
hardcoding the links?

Sounds like it is not so simply in ASP.NET 2.0 anymore. ??

Implement a singleton pattern class and add this methods to this class, my
advice is.

But anyway, links are external resources therefore can be stored in Resx
file. This would help you integrate your modules/pages with other
applications.

Thanks. Do you have an example?

Sorry - I sent too soon. If possible can you point me to an example of
using the resx file?

There are too much examples on net. Here are some links for sample codes:
