>loApp and LXFramework are references to the same object. You're not creating an instance of LXFramework. To do that you'd need loApp = new LXFramework() - thus defeating the object (no pun intended :-))

Ok, so if I adjust the declaration I should obtain what I need. Also, based on what I mentioned, because I have so many properties and objects that could be updated by another hit, I need to use this approach. Otherwise, assuming the framework Initialize() method wouldn't be an issue, I would be able to simply create an object of the framework at the top of the Page_Load(), merge the framework Initialize() and BeginRequest() methods together and I would be ok from that.
