>>In an ASP.NET 2005 web site app, with VB as the language, I want to create some objects in the main program (master page) that are accessible to all pages in the app. The master page does most of the I/O and the various content pages basically display that data and allow it to be updated. What is a simple way of accomplishing this? I have tried several approaches with nothing but build errors to show for my efforts. Most of the errors are in the content pages, saying oWhatever is not found. Am I missing something similar to FoxPro's EXTERNAL directive?

I find references in the help to the ASP.NET application file, glabal.asax, and they discuss how to put global event handlers there. But I haven't been able to find anything yet about how to define globally available objects or variables there. The closest I can find is web.config and that doesn't seem like a very place to put the data I am trying to handle.

What is LXFramework? What is Framework.Framework.App? Are those generic or are they specific to your web site? If the latter, what type of modules are they?
