[C#] HttpContext vs Context

[michael_hk]

Hi guys,

I am using the FrontController pattern and I have the following two aspx pages.

Test1.aspx

public class handler : IHttpHandler
{
	public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
	{
		...
		context.Items["datatable"] = dt;
		context.Server.Transfer("Test2.aspx");
	}
}

Test2.aspx

DataTable dt2 = (DataTable)Context.Items["datatable"];

In Test1.aspx I assign a datatable (dt) to context and in Test2.aspx I can use Context to retrieve it. So is it context == Context?

Thanks for your help.

Michael

Context.Items["datatable"] is an object , in this case a DataTable by the look of it , so you are casting the object to a DataTable.
basically it's not context = context , it's context = datatable

ProcessRequest is passed the HttpContext object for the current request. This is the same as using System.Web.HttpContext.Current. Pages also expose the context through the Context property. All three of these are the same exact object instance.

Thanks for all the explanation. Clear now.
