Creating and Using Global Variables on both your Frontend and Backend ASP.NET VB Pages.

Creating Global Variables is something we have to do in ASP.NET. In Classic ASP, it just worked, but not in ASP.NET.
In this article, we will look at both of these Variables that can be used throughout our page.


Place this at the top of your page.
<script runat="server" language="vbscript"> Public Class GlobalVariables Public Shared strSharedArtistFolderID As String Public Shared strSharedAlbumFolderID As String Public Shared FileToMove As String Public Shared MoveLocation As String Public Shared MovePath As String Public Shared getfile As String End Class </script>
Now, on our page, we can use either of these variables.
Create your Select Statement. Then add in your Global variable like this.
If drSet.Read() Then ' Feed your GlobalVariables in one single pass GlobalVariables.getfile = drSet("MyFile") End If
Now, anywhere on our page, we can use this.
<%=GlobalVariables.getfile%> Will get the value assigned to this Variable.

The same concept will work in the Codebehind as well.
Except without the Code Brackets.
Public Class GlobalVariables Public Shared strSharedArtistFolderID As String Public Shared strSharedAlbumFolderID As String Public Shared FileToMove As String Public Shared MoveLocation As String Public Shared MovePath As String Public Shared getfile As String End Class
GlobalVariables.getfile
