Application level variable initialization in asp classic

Question

I have legacy ASP classic website. If I dump all the application variables using

For Each item In Application.Contents 
    Response.Write item & " = " & Application(item) 
    Response.Write "<br>"      
Next 

They are all initialized but there is no global.asa file in this application. Where else the initialization code might be?

Answer 1

1. just add this code in any .asp file and add this file as a top usercontrol in every page so you will get this variable on all pages

2. session is the other option , you can assign all variable in session and can access in any page (I do not recommend this.)
