What namespace is Request a member of?

I'm trying to use it in a shared function but can't figure out what namespace it is in.

dim myip = Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_ADDR")

Cannot refer to an instance member of a class from within a shared method or shared member initializer without an explicit instance of the class.

The HttpRequest class lives in the System.Web namespace, so you'll need to import that namespace.

hmmmm.... I tried that earlier.

When I added Dim myip = System.Web.HttpRequest.ServerVariables("REMOTE_ADD R")

I get Reference to a non-shared member requires an object reference.

Yeah, that makes sense. I didn't provide all the necessary information. My bad.

By default, your Class Library, or wherever you stored your other class, is not aware of a Web environment. However, the System.Web namespace exposes a HttpContext class. This class has a Current property that returns information about the current (duh) HTTP Request. From this Current property, you can then retrieve stuff like Request, Cache, Session, etc. For example: Cheers,

That worked.

Thanks.
