Using application state in asp.net

[Guest]

Hi,

I am starting my first asp.net application and i have a number of aspx
pages. To save the state of my variables at the server, do i use
applicationstate and add the variables to it whenever they change?

My application works so that i have a separate global functions class
(globalfunctions.vb) and i have a heap of variables created in there. Do i
add these variables to the application state when i create them? And then
whenver i access these variables get them from the appstate object do changes
and then add them back? is that the basic idea?

Thanks,

Joshua Weir

Joshua,

You have the basic idea down. I would recommend a read on state
management using various techniques like the Application state
management vs using the Cache object and Session management. You'll
want to make sure you understand the differences and where you can
apply them.
