This task might seem trivial to most but I figured I would post for those that don`t know how to create "Global" classes in C#.  Global methods and variables are not supported in C# but you can place all of your common methods and variables within a class file and access them throughout your application.  Connection strings and log updaters are perfect candidates for this.  I ran into a couple of questions about this while cruising Google Groups.

Foo.cs

using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Data.SqlClient;
using System.Configuration;
 
namespace Foo
{
   public abstract class Global
   {
      public static SqlConnection connection()
      {
         SqlConnection cn = new SqlConnection(...)
 
         return cn;
      }
 
      public static String stupid()
      {
         return "stupid";
      }
   }
}

Bar.cs

using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Data.SqlClient;
using System.Configuration;
 
namespace Bar
{
   public class Default_Page
   {
      SqlConnection cn = Foo.Global.cn();
 
      private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
      {
         Response.Write(Foo.Global.Stupid());
      } 
   }
}
