Hi,
I have a class with a static constructor in which the class registers itself
as capable of doing something (using a delegate)
The problem is that the static constructor is never called, as no other
class references it. The only way to communicate with the class is using
the delegate.
Here is my code:
internal class Factory
{
static Factory()
{
Configurator.Re questNew+=new RequestNewDeleg ate(OnRequestNe w);
}
private static void OnRequestNew(st ring _objectName, ref ConfigObject
_object)
{
//Handle request
}
}
Is there any way to force the static constructor to be executed, using
attributes or something?
Regards,
Marc Selis

You can get the type initializer using Type.TypeInitia lizer, and then
invoke that.

Hi Marc,
Not a very elegant solution but you can add a dump method, just to force
the constructor to be called:
static void DumpMethod(){}

Hi Ignacio & Jon,
Thanks for you answers, but both your solutions require some other class
knowing the existence of my Factory class.
The whole point of my set up was to avoid this.
What I'm trying to do is the following:
I have a class (let's call it Builder) that needs to create a new instance
of a type that implements a certain -wellknow- interface, but that Builder
only has some kind of generic -but unique- name (no typename) describing the
type to create. The Builder isn't even sure that the requested type even
exists. That is why I choose to fire an event, and hope that some Factory
that is able to create it would respond to it.
Our plan is to provide extra Factories in the future, but the problem is
registering them to the Builder's event. The only alternative I have now is
to use reflection, and to look in every DLL for Factories, but I would
rather use another approach.
I thought there might be a way to instruct the mechanism that loads the
assemblies or types to automatically call a static constructor (or some
other code) using attributes or something...
Regards,
Marc

That's fine - you can probe for all the type which implement an
interface, and then fire the type initializers for all of those types.
Use Assembly.GetTyp es and
typeof(TheInter face).IsAssigna bleFrom(testTyp e) for each type it
returns.

Hi Kevin,
My problem is solved, yes. I choose to let the factories implement an
interface, and register the factories to the Builder class when the
application is launched.
My question remains unanswered though:
Is it possible to automatically execute some code (in a static method) when
the assembly that contains the code is loaded by the CLR? By using some
attribute on the static method for example?
Thanks,
Marc

No, that's not possible as far as I know.
You can, however, use the AssemblyLoad event to execute a piece of code
(in an already loaded assembly) whenever a new assembly is loaded.

Hi,
I have a base class with a static constructor and some abstract methods.
Derived classes implement these methods. From articles on the web, it appears
that there is no guarentee that this static constructor of the base class
would be invoked even if a an object of the derived class is created. Is this
correct ? Is there any way to ensure the base class's static constructor is
invoked before the derived class instance is constructed ?...

that via generics you can use the Type instance long before the static

With a generic class and the "new()" clause, I can force this in the
static ctor of the generic class, but this is not always convenient,
plus may (possibly?) be seen as a no-op .

Hello,
Suppose you have a class with a static property with only a get (read

properties but takes 1 hour to run.
Now suppose the first request comes in at 11:00 am and tries to read
from this property. It will need to wait an hour until the page loads
which is fine and makes sense. If a second (different) request at
