Name
StaticObjects
Synopsis
HttpStaticObjectsCollection = Application.StaticObjects
Returns an HttpStaticObjectsCollection containing all objects
instantiated in global.asax
using the
<object runat="server">
syntax whose
scope
attribute is set to
Application
.
Parameters
-
HttpStaticObjectsCollection
A variable of type HttpStaticObjectsCollection that will receive the StaticObjects property value.
Example
The example uses the Count property of the
HttpStaticObjectsCollection
class to display the
number of objects in the current application declared with the

. It then checks the type
of each object, and if it is a Web TextBox control, adds it to the
Controls collection of the current page.
Sub Page_Load( ) Message.Text = "There are " & Application.StaticObjects.Count & _ " objects declared with the " & _ "<object runat="server"> syntax " & _ "in Application scope." Dim myobj As Object For Each myObj in Application.StaticObjects If myObj.Value.GetType.ToString( ) = _ "System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox" Then Page.Controls.Add(myObj.Value) End If Next End Sub
