The ASP.Net worker process can be recycled under a number of scenarios. You
can control these normal scenarios by going to:
C:\WINDOWS\Micr osoft.NET\Frame work\v1.1.4322\ CONFIG
(c:\winnt on 2000 and framework version might be different) and opening
machine.config (don't mess around in there!). Find "processMod el
Attributes" and you'll find documentation describing a number of settings -
some of which are used for controlling when the worker process is recycled.
In IIS 6.0, there's an ASP.net tab which controls much of these things
(maybe even all,dont' remember).
basically the worker process can recycle itself at certain times/intervals,
when the memory reaches a certain amount, after being idle for too long and
so on. The worker process also terminates when IIS is restarted, or the
web.config file touched
Of course, the worker process can abnormally termniate...lik e if the system
crashed ;) or some cltr-alt-deletes the process...

Karl,
I undertand that. My question was more to do with the lifespan of a "static"
variable. When does the statc variable really becomes unreachable?

the lifespan of static variables is directly tied to the lifespan of worker
process. Static variables are tied to the appDomain...whe never a worker
process recycles, it stops its parent appdomain and starts a new one - state
is not transfered from one to another. This should be useful: http://odetocode.com/Articles/305.aspx
I'm not sure if this was mentioned in the initial thread, but the real risk
with static variables is that you risk having serious race conditions..che ck

I hope this is an ok place to post real beginner stuff.
Basically I need to know the difference between a field, and a static field.
My book sux and doesn't explain this well. It seems that a field is scoped
the same and can do the same things.
IE a field is declared in a class instead of a method so all methods of the
class can use it.
And a static field is described in my book as the same?

Hi
I am learning C# from books. I am trying to understand the use of the word
'Static' on a method.
When i look in the autos area (I often like to see what values are being
resolved) i see that there are also static members and non public members.
Could you please explain to me how the static method differs from others,
how static members differ from others?

Hi;
When a Page object - the code-behind of an aspx page is created - what is

I found some details on a musical festival, made my plans, and only found
out by chance that the site was two years out of date.
Is there some HTML way of setting a lifespan on a webpage on creation so
that, should the creator neglect to remove it, browsers will not render it?
If not should such a mechanism exist?
Perhaps with page expired message?
