Because you are compiling into a DLL, the DLL doesn't have access to
the response and request objects by default. You have two options.
1.) You could reference system.web.httpcontext.current in your DLL,
which would be the simplest.
2.) Create a class to manage the ASP objects for your DLL, for
example
Imports System
Imports System.Web
Imports System.web.httpcontext
Imports System.Web.SessionState
Public Class ASPObjects
'*********************************************************
'Use this class to reference ASP.Net objects inside a .NET dll
'i.e. Application, Session, Response, Request, etc.
'*********************************************************
Public objHttpContext As HttpContext
Public objHttpResponse As HttpResponse
Public objHttpRequest As HttpRequest
Public objHttpApplication As HttpApplicationState
Public objhttpSession As HttpSessionState
'Public strUserAgent As String
Public Sub New()
' Get the HttpContext object for the current HTTP request.
objHttpContext = HttpContext.Current()
' Get the Application State object.
objHttpApplication = objHttpContext.Application
' Get the Session object.
objhttpSession = objHttpContext.Session
' Get the Response object.
objHttpResponse = objHttpContext.Response
' Get the Request object.
objHttpRequest = objHttpContext.Request
' This code uses the Request object.
' You can use other intrinsic objects in a similar fashion
'strUserAgent =
objHttpRequest.ServerVariables("HTTP_USER_AGENT")
' This code uses the Response object.
'objHttpResponse.Write("HTTP USER AGENT: ")
'objHttpResponse.Write(strUserAgent)
end sub
End Class
Do either of these and you'll be able to access the ASP objects,
Neil
