# Component Context

Any derived `RxComponent` class can access a Context property that returns a `RxContext` object shared with any other component in the visual tree.

An `RxContext` is essentially a `Dictionary<string, object>` that you can use to store or retrive global variables: for example a service container object or current logged user.

`RxApplication` can be created also passing a value in the Context of the root component; for example in the following code we are passing a service provider object to the root component:

```csharp
ServiceProvider = RegisterServices();
_app = RxApplication.Create<ShellComponent>(this)
    .WithContext("ServiceProvider", ServiceProvider)
```

Any component under root component can access the context:

```csharp
var serviceProvider = (IServiceProvider)Context["ServiceProvider"];
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://adospace.gitbook.io/reactorui/guide/components-with-a-state/component-context.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
