hello,
can we connect to the database using global.asax file?i want to use the connection i gave in global.asax file rom all the pages in my aplication?please tell me how?in detail...

Thanks in advance-Ashok

hi, i suggest for your purpose to store the connection string in the wefconfig file like this:

<appSettings>
 <add key= "sqlconnection" value= "YOUR CONNECTION STRING HERE"></add>
</appSettings>

it is recommended to have one connection per page, so you have to give the connection string property to your connection in some way like this:
SqlConnection myConn = new SqlConnection (ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["sqlconnection"]);

hope it helps...
