What is the lifetime of an Application state?

Bruce W.1

I'm storing some things in the application state, like this:
Application["MyValue"] = "whatever";

In Visual Studio, when I shut down the web app then start it again the
application state information remains. If there are no browsers using
the app one would think that this would remove any application state,
but it does not.

However if I wait awhile then the application state information goes
away.

What controls the length of its life?

Thanks for your help.

The behavior you are seeing is somewhat skewed by the debugger. Its altered
to mimic the real world behavior as much as possible. An application is
recycled when, among other things, files are touched in the directory.
Closing visual studio does not touch the files so the application state
remains. However if you save before closing that will trigger a restart of
the app. This closely mimics real world behavior which cause an app to
restart if the config files are dirty, the number of uploaded files exceed
15, the assembly files change, idle time out etc etc.
Makes sense?

"using" vs "= null" and object lifetime

by: MuZZy | last post by:

Hi, Lately i've been (and still am) fixing some memory leaks problems in the project i just took over when i got this new job. Among the other issues i've noticed that for localy created objects it makes difference to explicitly put them to null after working with them is done - it somehow makes the GC collect them sooner, like here: void SomeFunc() { MyClass c = new MyClass();

Object Lifetime

events and object lifetime

The way I understand it, if I have an object Listener that has registered as a listener for some event Event that's produced by an object Emitter, as long as Emitter is still allocated Listener will stay alive.

About windows services and object lifetime

Hi all, I want to host a remote object in a windows service. This remote object fires events about service state. Clients connect and consume this events. The service configures and marshal remote object in its constructor. When a client application starts it connects remote object, registers events and monitors service state. So far so good. When service stops, it fires stop event via remote object and all clients know the service was...

Problem With Comparison Operator <=> in G++

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
