    GAC - Context - Cache

    Newbie question related to assemblies in GAC

    If I have a business component in the GAC, and the component uses some
    context (say it is a windows application ... and so i manually set up a

    context ) ...to cache some variables. Will this cache be long-lived and

    shared across all sharing applications?


    Also if I have some static constructors in some of the classes, when
    will they be invoked -- do the normal rules apply here too that they
    will be invoked only the first time any shared assembly tries to access

    them ?

      No, the assembly is loaded once per application, and you'll have one
      copy of the data per appdomain.

      Yes. Again, once per loaded instance of the assembly.

          Mattias,
          I greatly appreciate your quick help on this!

          Just curious - so is there a way at all for a business component to
          cache date on the app server, to be visible by multiple app domains
          which would later load this component. (I mean a design pattern if any)

          Thanks again!
