The company i work for made this executable that then returns a password for the database. I call a helper class in my code from my webservice that returns the password. The class is basically running this executable and retrieving the password. I would like to minimize the amount of calls that i make to this executable to basically one call, in other words next service call should just use the global application variable and not the executable. I though well i can just make an application variable and store the password there and not have to deal with it. However it appears to me that i cannot set the global variable from a separate class.
