ASP Application Object

previous next

An application on the Web is a group of ASP files. These files work together to perform some purpose. The ASP Application object is used to tie these files together.

Application Object

The ASP Application object is used to store variables and to access variables from any page. All users share ONE Application object.

The Application object should hold information that will be used by many pages in the application (like database connection information). This means that you can access the information from any page. It also means that you can change the information in one place and the new information will automatically be reflected on all pages. Its collections, methods, and events are described below:

Collections

Collection Description
Contents Contains all the items appended to the application through a script command
StaticObjects Contains all the objects appended to the application with the HTML <object> tag

Methods

Method Description
Contents.Remove Deletes an item from the Contents collection
Contents.RemoveAll() Deletes all items from the Contents collection
Lock Prevents other users from modifying the variables in the Application object
Unlock Enables other users to modify the variables in the Application object (after it has been locked using the Lock method)

Events

Event Description
Application_OnEnd Occurs when all user sessions are over, and the application ends
Application_OnStart Occurs before the first new session is created (when the Application object is first referenced)
