Share variable across site ASP.NET
- by Anders
I have a class isSearching with a single boolean property in a 'functions' file in my webapp. On my search page, I have a variable oSearchHandler declared as a Public Shared variable. How can I access the contents of oSearchHandler on other pages in my webapp?
Code with Session....
'search.aspx
Public Function oSearchString(ByVal oTextBoxName As String) As String
For Each oKey As String In Request.Form.AllKeys
If oKey.Contains(oTextBoxName) Then
Session.Add("searching", True)
Session.Add("search-term", Request.Form(oKey))
Return Request.Form(oKey)
End If
Next
Return ""
End Function
'theMaster.master
<%
If Session("searching") Then
%><ul style="float: right;">
<li>
<div class="gsSearch">
<asp:TextBox ID="searchbox" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
</div>
</li>
<li>
<div class="gsSearch">
<asp:Button ID="searchbutton" runat="server" Text="search" UseSubmitBehavior="true" PostBackUrl="search.aspx" CssClass="searchBtn" />
</div>
</li>
</ul>
<%
End If
%>
I think that the session will work just fine.
