Access DLL without instantiating

Question

I wrote a simple dll with only 2 functions in it. Is there a way to access these functions without having to instantiate them on every page?

Can't I add them to the web.config somehow as assemblies thus giving me access to them?

Answer 1

If you want to access the functions on each page, put them into a base class of all of your pages.

Answer 2

Mark your methods as static and you can call them from anywhere without instantiating the classes.

Your class:

public class MyClass
{
  public static string HelloWorld()
  {
    return "Hello World";
  }
}

Your Page:

string helloWord = MyClass.HelloWorld();
