Saving a list of items in Application State ASP.NET MVC ?
- by Calibre2010
Hi Guys,
I'm having a bit of trouble with knowing how I can save items from a list I have in Application state in the global.asax as- Application[""].
My controller basically takes in some user input, I then pass this to another classes Method as parameters it gets added to a list all the time. This data thats getting added to the list I want to store it, but without using a db. By using Application State. . I have been instantiating this class and calling its method to return the list of items but I dont think Application State is saving it.
Here is what I have so far. .
        protected void Application_Start()
    {
        RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
        TimeLineInformation t = new TimeLineInformation();
        IList<SWTimeEnvInfoDTO> g = t.getInfo();
        Application["AppID"] =  g;
    }
^ Global.asax
        IList<SWTimeEnvInfoDTO> result = new List<SWTimeEnvInfoDTO>();
    public  void returnTimeLineInfo(string SWrelease, string EnvName, DateTime SDate, DateTime EDate) {
        SWTimeEnvInfoDTO myDTO = new SWTimeEnvInfoDTO();
        myDTO.softwareReleaseName = SWrelease;
        myDTO.environmentName = EnvName; 
        myDTO.StartDate = SDate;
        myDTO.EndDate = EDate;
        result.Add(myDTO);
        getInfo();
    }
    public IList<SWTimeEnvInfoDTO> getInfo() {
        return result;
    }
^ class im calling 
The SWTimeEnvInfoDTO type has get and set methods for the data.
I am calling the application from a View as well. It works with a string 
Application["AppID"] = "fgt";
and shows this once i read it from my view.
