Global Application Class

Question

Can anybody tell me briefly the exact use of global application class in .NET(global.asax).

Mahesh Chand · Answer

Global application class settings are available to all users accessing a Website. For example, if there are 200 users on a Website, all 200 users can access same application class variables/data and all of them will see same values. A Session belongs to a single user/browser session only. So if there are 200 users accessing same application, every user will have their own Session variables/data and that will be seperate for every body. You want to put data in application state that is common to all users. For example, database connection string or some static data that never changed based on a user. Global.asax class also have many events that are common to application as well as some events are for Session etc. This is just a single place to have all events for an application.
