Web.config AppSettings

Global variables can be set in web.config. In general, these are variables that are not frequently changed. For example, the mail server. A key can be added in the section.

<configuration>
<appSettings>
    <add key="MyMailServer" value="mymailserver.com" />
</appSettings>
</configuration>

Then the value can be retrieved in the code

Dim MyMailServer as String = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("MyMailServer")
