Well, in answer to the first part, here's an example(and keep in mind there are a few ways of doin this, this is just one way).
MyUserControl.ascx
VB Code:
<script language="vb" runat="server">
Public Property TurkeyName() As String
Get
Return _TurkeyName.Text
End Get
Set(ByVal Value As String)
_TurkeyName.Text = Value
End Set
End Property
Public Property EatStuffing() As Boolean
Get
Return _EatStuffing.Checked
End Get
Set(ByVal Value As Boolean)
_EatStuffing.Checked = Value
End Set
End Property
</script>
<asp:TextBox
ID="_TurkeyName"
Runat="server"/><br />
<asp:CheckBox
ID="_EatStuffing"
Text="Do you eat stuffing?"
Runat="server"/>
MyTestPage.aspx
VB Code:
<%@ Register Tagprefix="Thanksgiving" Tagname="Turkey" Src="MyUserControl.ascx" %>
<script language="vb" runat="server">
Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
MyTurkeyDayControl.TurkeyName = "Chris"
MyTurkeyDayControl.EatStuffing = True
End Sub
</script>
<html>
<head>
<title>MyTestPage</title>
</head>
<body>
<form id="Form1" method="post" runat="server">
<Thanksgiving:Turkey
Runat="server"
ID="MyTurkeyDayControl"/>
</form>
</body>
</html>
As far as a global variable, the the Application object still exists, so maybe try that. Where appropriate I also use the appSettings section of the web.config file.
