Hi all,

I have a web application project and a problem with visibiltiy to the Global.asax class.

In my Global.asax I have a public variable such as this:

Public Class Global_asax
	Inherits System.Web.HttpApplication

	Public Shared MyString As String
         ... All the other event stuff
End Class

I am setting the value of the variale in the Application_Start Event

Now in the same web project I have a class with a namespace of
Namespace Main.Managers
the full namespace would be the project root plus Main.Managers so
MyApplication.Web.Main.Managers

Inside this class I am trying to reference the Shared (static)variable such as this:

If (MyString = "SomeValue") Then

What I get is an error indicating MyString is not declared.
What am I doing wrong here as I expected the Shared variable to be available in the Global.asax file.
Thanks
Tim
