>>No simple fix for these. Maybe you should store the items that aren't Request/Response related in the Context.Items collection rather than as framework properties. It would mean fairly substantial changes to your existing code but I see no obvious alternative.

The next goal would be to get a reference to the global.asax LXFramework object in the WebForm class so I would be able to have the class like this which the initialization to the framework would be removed because I would be able to get a referenced copy of LXFramework from global.asax.

>But, this is the part that is missing. I don't know if it is possible to get a reference to a global.asax object from a class. Is the current context able to help me in this case?

One way is to get a reference from the StaticObjects collection. C# version:

        Framework.App oApp = (Framework.App )Application.StaticObjects.GetObject("LXFramework"");

but I fail to see how the code in Page_Init above differs in any real sense to the original code that you had in BeginRequest. You're back to passing a reference into a global object that cannot be quaranteed to be correct when accessed later. You have exactly the same predicament as in the original. Consider just these four lines of code

>            oApp.oRequest = Request
>            oApp.oResponse = Response
>            oApp.oServer = Server
>            oApp.oPage = Me
>            oApp.BeginRequest()

By the time BeginRequest() is entered oApp.oRequest could already be invalid!
To recap: you *cannot* safely access hit dependent data from within the application scoped framework object except via the current context.

If you need hit related items that are *not* available through the existing objects (such as Request/Response) then you could create an object scoped to the request and add it to the Context.Items collection. e.g:

public class RequestScopeObject
{
            public string cCookie = "";
            public string cDecrypt = "";
            public string cEncrypt = "";
            // etc
}

Then in BeginRequest():

        RequestScopeObject rso = new RequestScopeObject();
        //Initialise rso as ness. then:
        HttpContext.Current.Items.Add("RSO", rso);

And in the Framework:

RequestScopeObject rso = (RequestScopeObject)HttpContext.Current.Items["RSO"];
//etc
