Question

I want to be able to globally grab a reference to the Page object that is currently being requested, so I’ve added a Global.asax file.

Is there any way to do this? I assume it has something to do with the Application_BeginRequest event.

Answer 1

Create a class that is a subclass of Page that does what you want and use this subclass as the base type for all you pages.

public class MyPage : Page
{
 //... override whatever you want, add functionality, whatever
}

All other pages:

public class Index : MyPage
{
   // Automatically get new behaviour
}
