How do you declare global constans?

[christheprogrammer]

Hi again, where abouts would I declare all my global constants? i.e: I have some directory paths I want to be in one place only for the project so I don't have to search every project file when I deploy this web...

I want to do this in a global context:

Public Const PASSWORD_FILE = "C:\somedir\PasswordFile.xml"

Simple...Right? Chris says: "It's time for a beer."

Should just be in the web.config file. You can use and make keys they are called to hold strings for creating dynamic properties for controls

</system.web>
<appSettings>
<!-- User application and configured property settings go here.-->
<!-- Example: <add key=&quot;settingName&quot; value=&quot;settingValue&quot;/> -->
<add key=&quot;SqlConnection1.ConnectionString&quot; value=&quot;data source=Mark;initial catalog=RoamingForest;user id=RF;password=password;packet size=4096&quot; />
</appSettings>


I have used this to make my connection string dynamic for any object that i need.

The other place is in global.asax under the application start sub.

You could also stick it in a module like old school vb6.0, but it really is a better idea to do it in the web.config. That way you always know where your constants are instead of hunting for them through a pile of .vb files.
