I'm scratching my head on this one. The code shown here generates this Compilation error:

Compiler Error Message: CS0103: The name 'context' does not exist in the current context

Source Error:

Any idea's?

you never declare a lower-case "context". You are passing in the uppercase "Context", but you don't have a lower-case.

Thanks for the reply. I'm not sure I follow your meaning. I am using the lowercase context in the GetAppSetting function.

Are you trying to say that I never declared a lowercase context anywhere else, or that I am never supposed to declare a lowercase context?

Thanks

He is saying you did not declare an object called 'context'. And if you did, show us where you have declared it.

Okay, that makes better sense. I thought that all I needed to do was make context equal to the inherited Context member variable used as a parameter in the constructor. This is in fact all that happens in the constructor. So, where and how should I declare it as an object?

Thanks

Because you are using it in more than one method you need to declare it at the class level.

	public class AppEnv
	{
		private HttpContext context;

		public AppEnv(HttpContext Context)
		{
		context = Context;
		} //--------------------------------------------------------------- End public AppEnv().

Thanks Jayman, that did the trick!!!
