public myvar as string = HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name in Module issueYour last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

I have a vb.net 2003 web project with a module. The module has several public functions and subs and public myvar as string = HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name. Variable myvar is accessed in multiple web pages. The problem is when the website is started myvar = the first user to access the application. Then every other user after that initial load has myvar = that first user. If I remark that line and add dim myvar as string = HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name in every sub that uses myvar then it grabs the current user as intended. What am I doing (or understanding) wrong here?

A VB "module", having global context, exists in thread local storage. Because of this, global variables in a VB module is global to the process, regardless of "session". Know what I mean?

A better route is to use a class and put the variable as Shared (equivalent to C#'s "static").

Module bad - got it!
I was afraid it had something to do with my use of a module!
But now I learned something new!

Thanks for the insight Ryan.
