Problem using Static Variable...

[N a r e s h P a t e l]

Hi, I am using static variables for storing some data like pageindex, some table data and like that. It works fine. No problems. But the scope of static variable is for whole application. I mean if there are 10 user connected to my application then they all share the same value of static variables. So it may creates some problems and it is obvious. So what should I do now. Because application is now completely developed. So should I use ViewState in place of all Static variables or what? So please give me way for this. Thanks in advance.

It depends what scope you want for you variables. If you want it to be for that user only then you can use session or if you just want to have that for the life of that page then you can use viewstate.

Yaa But the number of session variables increase it may deduce the performance as I think. And the viewstate store all data into the page so it may also affect performance.

Well the data has to be stored SOMEWHERE! I'd go with Session.

But if you are just storing some small value in session it won't affect the performance that much. And also as Colin told you have to store it somewhere so you can choose you way.
