Constants: Where do they go?

DragonLEG · June 10th, 2011, 08:55 PM

I have several set values for my calculator that I need to be able to use throughout my website along with a few Functions that I would like to do the same. I would like to be able to place these Constants & Functions in one place where I can update them once and have them apply to all my calculations (I have 3 different sets of similar calculations that are performed in 3 subfolders). Is this possible?

Hi there,

If you have a Web Site Project, you can define them in a class inside the App_Code folder. For a Web Application Project, you can place a code file pretty much anywhere (except in App_Code). Then you can define the values in a class like this:

Code:

 
public class Constants
{
  public const double Whatever = 4.1;
}

You can then access the value using Constants.Whatever. You may also need to add a using statement for the namespace of the Constants class.

Hope this helps,
