how can I access Server, or Request in another class?

[MrPolite]

I made a private class in one of my asp pages. I tried to access the Server and the Request object but it doesnt let me... How can I access it inside a class?

also, can I put some functions in global.asax and access those functions anywhere? ( I mean can I use the global file just like a public module?)

You can't access them. What I have done though, is use those obects to pass in arguments so you have access to the data you need.

aha ook I'll do that, heh

how about the globals file? can it be used like a global module? if I add a public function to it, can I access it from every page? it doesnt LOOK LIKE I can

I don't think you can, but why would you want to anyway? If it is, I don't know a way.

You can just create a normal module if your using VB and access it. It would be best this way anyway, because the global module file is for application events, not your custom functions.

You can access them thru the HttpContext Class.

For functionality that is common to all pages what I do is create a base class that inherits from Page and contains the common methods. Then all pages inherit my base class and the common functionality.
