set variable in httpmodule read in masterpage & content page, asp.net C#

Is it possible to set value to variable in httpmodule and read the value of the variable in contentpage & masterpage?

I want to use this instead of session. The variable holds the value of the userID.

Because every page on my site creates a number of different database connections i think that one more is better than having session values?! What do you think?

I want to create a site that can grow large. (Always tries to program my sites in this way) So thats why I want to take away a number of session values.

Thanks!

Solution

  • you can use below Code snippet.....

    //Store data in Step1:
HttpContext.Current.Items.Add("Key", "Value");

//Retrieve data in Step2:
object value = HttpContext.Current.Items["Key"];
