Name
Application
Synopsis
HttpApplicationState = Context.Application
Returns the current Application state object.
Parameters
-
HttpApplicationState
An HttpApplicationState object that will receive the value of the property.
Example
The example sets an application value using the Application instance
exposed by the Page
class and gets the instance
from Context. Finally, it displays the newly set value by using the
HttpApplicationState instance retrieved from the Context object
(proving they are the same object):
Sub Page_Load( ) Dim App as HttpApplicationState Page.Application("Test")="Value" App = Context.Application Message.Text = App("Test") End Sub
Notes
Often, you will use the copy of Application from the
Page
class. However, for objects not derived from
Page
(for instance, HttpHandlers and HttpModules)
this is a convenient way to access the Application state.
Do not confuse this property, which returns an instance of type HttpApplicationState, with the ApplicationInstance property, which returns an instance of type HttpApplication.
