Question

I have a simple web app built in asp.net webforms c#

where and how would be the best way to save info from the code behind?
(and also retrieve that info)

eg all i want to save is a dateTime. and a flag set to True or False.
and be able to access them in the code behind.

Im not using a db for this web app.

Edit: and can’t really use session variables for this purpose.

thanks

If you need to read the saved variable after a lengthy period of time, you should store it in a local file or a database.

You can create a file using a FileStream object and then write your value to the file.

To get a path where your application has sufficient rights to write a file, use Server.MapPath.

Note : If possible, and if the data you store should not be available to users, you should configure your IIS WebSite to forbid him to serve this file to clients.
