Question

I wanted to define a global variable in ASP.NET MVC project which will have static configurations details. Like context name, project name etc. Actually I am working on developing reusable component for which you can set all these variables and include them in the project such that they work.
Just to give an example

using PROJECT_NAME.Models;
using PROJECT_NAME.BizLogic;
PROJECT_CONTEXT db= new PROJECT_CONTEXT;
and rest of the code follows

This way if I code the components, I think I can use them in any project and all I need to do is set these global variables (or rather reference).
Please help me with the following question
1. How can we set such global variable
2. Is there a better way of doing this.

Thanks in advance for your help 🙂

but the best and most professional way to do it, is to implement a thread-safe singletone pattern:
