Re: [ADVANCED-DOTNET] Defining fixed variables

I don't know the details of your design, but perhaps you can use ordinary (non-singleton) objects that simply maintain their state in a shared, machine-wide medium (eg: a file with a well-known pathname). Of course you'd need to synchronize access to the file... but depending on your usage

There is an equivalent, use const. (Note that a const can not be static) According to the C# lang spec at [1]: Whenever an expression is of one of the types listed above and contains only the constructs listed above, the expression is evaluated at compile- time. This is true even if the

PLEASE - you benchmark two different things :-) C#: ArrayList ElementObject= new ArrayList(); C++: VECTORINT intList; intList.reserve(500L); I strongly suggest you do reserve the space in the ArrayList, too. Currently ArrayList (in the C# code) gets expanded multiple

However I would still expect considerably worse performance from the CLR solution because it will be boxing everything that goes in there. So for this benchmark, what are you trying to measure? Do you only care about the performance of a container of ints, or are you trying to infer something
