Question : How to maintain a value in memory for use by clases in asp.net Web Service

Hi Experts

I have a Web Service that establishes a dynamic database connection based on an initiql catalogue input value passed into the service. I have a number of classes that have methods that require them to connect to this database, but I am struggling with how to best provide the classes access to this value. I dont want to pass the value in to each class as a property so can I save the value as a string variable in memory somehow? I have tried using Session, but I can not then retrieve this from within the Class.

Any ideas?

Many thanks

Stewart

I haven't found a better solution than this.

Here is an topic about a discussion with Session and shared function/classes.

They also recommend HttpContext.Current
