[thelist] (asp.net) application variables

[Peter Brunone (EasyListBox.com)]

		Actually, you don't necessarily need to call .ToString; I can Response.Write the value just fine.  The exception would be if you're running Option Strict, but in that case you'd get an implicit conversion error rather than the seeming out-of-place remark about static members.

This would be in the web.config file. Within the tag there will 
be a tag . You can add your own tag thus within this tag:

[..]

I'm not sure about this, but do you need to call the ToString() method thus:

strFoo = Application("foo").ToString()
