How to force execution of static constructor?

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

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?


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.

In anther thread I learned that I could set up a static member to act as a kind of global variable for a web service; one that could be managed for multiple access using a mutex. Now I am thinking of other uses. For example, say I want to provide data validation on a field based on a table from a database. So, I would want to load that list once from a table, and then have all

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 ?...

Given a generic method "of T", is there a good way of ensuring that any static ctor on T has executed? Following code demonstrates (TestClass1) that via generics you can use the Type instance long before the static ctor fires. 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 . Sample; ideally I'd get "Static...

I'm working on a small Ajax request library to simplify some tasks that I will be taking on shortly. For the most part everything works fine, however I seem to have some issues when running two requests at the same time. The first one stops execution as the second continues. If I place either an alert between the two requests or run the second through a setTimeout of only 1 millisecond, they both work. You can see a working example here:...

Hello, Suppose you have a class with a static property with only a get (read only). You also have code in a static constructor that sets these 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 11:01 am comes in and tries to read the same...
