Question

I have an assignment for an ASP.NET project that deals with storing and retrieving global variables from a global.asax file.

My instructor gave me this part for defining the variable:

Application.Add("Name", "Andrew");

But then after that, he kinda left me hanging. So I was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to point me to the right direction for handling these global variables. Specifically, for calling the variable in a different page of my application.

Answer 1

To retrieve the value with the following code:

string name = Application["Name"]
