How to configure the global.asax.vb file?

Hi,

I want to create a class to store data in it along the user session variable. To do so I was advised to create the class in the global.asax.vb file, but I don’ t know how to do it. I don’ t have that file, and I don’ t use any development tool such as VS.NET, Web Matrix, etc.. I program all my site typing the code in Dreamweaver MX.

I tried to create the global.asax.vb file simply opening a new Dreamweaver blank document, and saving it as ‘global.asax.vb’. Then I typed into that file:

Code:

' VB Document

<script language="VB" runat="server">
  
      Public Class User_info
         Public email As string
         Public offer_id As Int64	 
      End Class

</script>

Then, in the page that starts the session I typed:

Code:

<%@ Page Language="VB" Debug="true" %>

<script language="VB" runat="server">

Sub check_User(Sender As Object, E As ImageClickEventArgs)
 
  ‘ Code to check into the DB for correct e-mail and password 

  strConnection.open()
  CmdDataBaseResponse.ExecuteNonQuery
  strConnection.close()


   Dim User_num As Int64 = CmdDataBaseResponse.Parameters("@Id").Value

   Dim UserSessionInfo As New User_info()
   UserSessionInfo.email = CmdDataBaseResponse.Parameters("@e_mail").Value
   Session("Private_Session") = UserSessionInfo

   Response.Redirect(“private_area.aspx ?" + "UserId = " + Server.UrlEncode(User_num))

End Sub
</script>

<html>
<head>Authentication Page</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>

But when I load that Authentication Page I receive this error:

Type 'User_info' is not defined.
Line 732: Dim UserSessionInfo As New User_info()

What is wrong? Is it well defined my global.asax.vb file? Or is it better to use VS.NET or a similar tool to configure that file?

Thank you,
Cesar

global.asax.vb??

I've always used global.asax

I didn't know global.asax.vb exists as a special file, does it?
