Where to define HttpContext.Current.Items["xxxx"];

[ad]

When I study the Portal Starter Kit

(http://www.asp.net/Default.aspx?tabindex=8&tabid=47)

There is a line in DesktopPortalBanner.ascx.cs

PortalSettings portalSettings = (PortalSettings)
HttpContext.Current.Items["PortalSettings"];

Where to define HttpContext.Current.Items["xxxx"]?

I can't understand this line.

Could some one help me?

Without have the actual portal installed, I'm pretty sure they do it in the
PortalModule look for IHttpModule or something and then the BeginRequest
function...if that's not it I'll install it and find it for you....

you could always simply search for "PortalSettings" (with the double
quotes) throughout the project...

Thank,
I think I didn't express my question well.
I change my question in a new session.
Can you help me?
----------------------------------------------------------------
I find a line in a Web application like:
myString=(string)HttpContext.Current.Items["aString"];

I used to use
myString=(string)Application["aString"];
or
myString=(string)ViewState["aString"];

I know about the difference about Application state and ViewState.
But what is the HttpContext statae?
