Where do I put a generic function used in all pages?

Hi all,

I'm still learning asp.net so this may seem a simple question, but
here goes anyway. I have a generic function that I wish to access
from all pages in my web application. Intead of putting this
function into the code-behind of every page, is there somewhere I can
put it so that it can access it from all pages? I tried doing it the
same way that I create a class with a namespace etc.. but that didin't
work. I tried placing it in the global.asax but that didn't work
either.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Renecreate a generic page with this function, then inherit from it for all your
other pages, that's what we do with great sucess.

Well, you could always give your global.asax a classname. The you can add
methods etc to it as you would any other class and they would be available
to the code base.
