Increment return value of method every time it is called

[optimus_prime]

Hi,

I want to use a function in the code file of ASP.NET such that everytime the function is called, its value increases by 1.

I thought of a way but it didn't fully work out. I created a class for this and used a static variable in that but the lifetime of static variable in asp.net is till the time the app does not close.

public class Class1
{
	public Class1()
	{
		//
		// TODO: Add constructor logic here
		//
	}  
  private static Int32 i =0 ;
  public Int32 return_number()
  {
    i++;
    return i;
  }

}

Hence, the static variable keeps on storing these values until the app is restarted i.e

Q. 2
Q. 3
For the second time

but I want the serial number to increment from 1,2, 3 every time application starts as it should be. Any work around?

i don know asp but the logic remains the same, here you go..
the variable is lost as soon as the application is closed so
use a file to store the value and next time read value form the file. I think this should solve your problem.

Thats the Only way of thinking for this problem.. Unless the data is stored it cant be retained..

im not asp.net coder but php coder but can give you idea.
you may store it to a file or in sql db ( if its just one variable then dont recommend sql db).

Store it in a file, retrive it on run
