Question

Is it possible to set value to variable in httpmodule and read the value of the variable in contentpage & masterpage?

I want to use this instead of session. The variable holds the value of the userID.

Because every page on my site creates a number of different database connections i think that one more is better than having session values?! What do you think?

I want to create a site that can grow large. (Always tries to program my sites in this way)
So thats why I want to take away a number of session values.

Thanks!

Answer 1

you can use below Code snippet…..

//Store data in Step1:
HttpContext.Current.Items.Add("Key", "Value");

//Retrieve data in Step2:
object value = HttpContext.Current.Items["Key"];
