ASP Application

This lesson is part of ASP · All levels

Summary

The Application object stores data that is applicable to all visitors to the site, such as a visitor count or shared configuration. This data is stored in the server's memory so that changes by one user are immediately visible to the other user. Since they are used together, written access needs to be locked with Application.Lock to avoid collisions.

Key points

The application is global to all site visitors.
Application.Lock and Application.Unlock keep the data consistent together.
The Application value remains until the application is reset or the server stops.
Application_OnStart and Application_OnEnd are addressed at Global.asa.
