I'm putting together a site using Asp.NET MVC with Entity Framework.

I need to pull in my configuration row from its table when the site launches.

Is this something that I can do in the App_Start, the Home Controller or something else entirely?

Thanks

Got it myself
I put this function in global_asax and called it from Application_start:

C#

 private void getConfig()
 {
              EFConfigRepository configRepository = new EFConfigRepository();
//  const string sessionKey = "Config";
  CConfigMasterBase config = null;
  config = configRepository.Config
            .FirstOrDefault();
  System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Application["_Config"] = config;


 }

Then called it like this from the cshtml:

C#

@{
    CConfigMasterBase config = new CConfigMasterBase();
    config = (CConfigMasterBase)System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Application["_Config"];
}
