Hi Nilesh Use a public static class and access it from anywhere. public static class MyGlobals { public const string Prefix = ID_; // cannot change public static int Total = 5; // can change because not const } used like so from master page or anywhere: string strStuff = MyGlobals.Prefix + something; textBox1.Text = total of  + MyGlobals.Total.ToString(); You don't need to make an instance of the class; in fact you can't because it's static. new Just use it directly. All members inside a static class must also be static. The string Prefix isn't marked static because const is implicitly static by nature. The static class can be anywhere in your project. It doesn't have to be part of Global.asax or any particular page because it's global (or at least as close as we can get to that concept in object-oriented terms.) You can make as many static classes as you like and name them whatever you want. Another way : public static class Globals { public static int GlobalInt { get; set; } private static string _globalVar = ; public static string GlobalVar { get { return _globalVar; } set { _globalVar = value; } } }
