Ahh found a good explanation: http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/03/04/ASPNETUserState/
Context The Context object holds data for a single user, for a single request, and it is only persisted for the duration of the request. The Context container can hold large amounts of data, but typically it is used to hold small pieces of data because it is often implemented for every request through a handler in the global.asax. The Context container (accessible from the Page object or using System.Web.HttpContext.Current) is provided to hold values that need to be passed between different HttpModules and HttpHandlers. It can also be used to hold information that is relevant for an entire request. For example, the IBuySpy portal stuffs some configuration information into this container during the Application_BeginRequest event handler in the global.asax. Note that this only applies during the current request; if you need something that will still be around for the next request, consider using ViewState. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Basheer Ahmed Noordeen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, September 19, 2005 9:27 AM Subject: Re: [AspNetAnyQuestionIsOk] Hello all > Thanks Mischa Kroon.. > pls some one explain abt context objext > > Mischa Kroon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Viewstate = in page cache. > > Cache = like the application object. > > Context I'll leave for someone else to explain. > But I think it is a per request cache. > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Basheer Ahmed Noordeen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[email protected]> > Sent: Monday, September 19, 2005 8:38 AM > Subject: [AspNetAnyQuestionIsOk] Hello all > > >> Hi all >> I want to know the diff b/n Viewstate,Cache,and context.items >> >> Is cache is like application object r session object? >> >> Pls help me >> Regards >> Basheer >> >> >> --------------------------------- >> Meet your soulmate! >> Yahoo!
