I have the following static method inside a static class. My question is it safe to use HttpContext.Current.Response inside a static method? I want to be 100% sure that it is thread safe and is only associated with the calling thread.. Does anybody know the answer?
public static void SetCookie(string cookieName, string cookieVal, System.TimeSpan ts)
{
try
{
HttpCookie cookie =
new HttpCookie(CookiePrefix + cookieName)
{Value = cookieVal, Expires = DateTime.Now.Add(ts)};
HttpContext.Current.Response.Cookies.Add(cookie);
}
catch (Exception)
{
return;
}
}
Yes its quite safe. HttContext.Current will acquire the current HttpContext from the thread that is executing.
Its a common technique and saves you from having to pass the context object around like "Tramp data".
