Board index » Web Programming » how to tell if code running in asp.net context?

Web Programming423
I need to do some caching. If my code is running a part of asp.net then I

would use caching, otherwise I'll just store my data in an object.



And my question is now do I determine at run time if the code is running as

part of asp.net?



I know if HttpContext is not available I get an exception, but there must be

a graceful way to determine it.



Thank you.

See if there is an httpcontext. If there is, use that. Otherwise store data

in the object.

Hi Marina - my q was how do I determine that? HttpContext is a class, and

HttpContext.Current is an undefined object. I could catch exception but maybe

there is a cleaner way to do this? Thanks

try an if statement:



if (HttpContext.Current != null)

{

// we are running under asp.net

}

else

{

// we are not running under asp.net

}
