The remaining question I have is, What exactly is an AppDomain? If my object is created from a Web Service call, is the Web Service the AppDomain? Does this imply that when the Web Service call is finished, the AppDomain is no longer "Live"?
The reason I ask is because I am using this object like a in memory DB. A Web Service call adds to a collection and another Web Service call removes from the collection. A bunch of these calls is the only connection to the object. I have a bug in the system and I haven't had the time yet to figure it out so I am wondering if this is the problem (I don't think it is though). -----Original Message----- From: Bill Conroy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, May 31, 2002 8:02 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [ADVANCED-DOTNET] Singleton pattern This is Bill, and I'm quite sure I'm right. Actually, I'm positive. And Bajaj is correct also. It's all about the static and setting it means there will be a root reference for as long as the AppDomain is "live", thus it will not be GC'd. SuppressFinalize only ensures that the Finalize method will NOT be called for that object. That is it. Nothing more, nothing less. -bc On Fri, 31 May 2002 11:37:52 +0200, Jonni Faiga <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >Hi, >Bills conclusion that SuppressFinalize is not required implies that >Samir Bajaj's statement regarding has Singleton code in >http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/01/07/patterns/patterns.asp >is that "all you need to do in the C# version is make sure you have a >live reference to the singleton object for as long as it's needed." is >incorrect. > > >btw.
