Title Body

I'm using MVC2 and VS2010 developing a website and need to use Application State global values. I can set a value like 'Application["hits"]=0;' in Global.asax but when trying to use the same in an MVC controller always get the following error: The name 'Application' does not exist in the current context I have also tried using in the Global.asax in order to define a global variable but it triggers the following error: A namespace cannot directly contain members such as fields or methods I'm looking for a way to define global Application State values that are available within all controllers of my MVC2 web application. Am I omitting something? My controller looks like this: using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Web; using System.Web.Mvc; namespace MVCApplication.Controllers { [HandleError] public class HomeController : Controller { public ActionResult Index() { Application["hits"] += 1; ViewData["Message"] = "Welcome to ASP.NET MVC!"; return View(); } } } I appreciate any solutions and/or suggestions. Thanks Mehrdad
