POHow to make subsequent instances of an assembly share the same memory?
text
Body
copied!<p>I want something like a static class variable, except when different applications load my assembly I want them all to be sharing the same variable.</p> <p>I know I could write to disk or to a database, but this is for a process that's used with sql queries and that would probably slow it down too much (actually I am going to test these options out but I'm asking this question in the meantime b/c I don't think it's going to be an acceptable solution).</p> <p>I would prefer to use the solution that incurrs the least overhead in deployment, and I don't mind if the solution isn't easy to create so long as it's easy to use when I'm done.</p> <p>I'm aware that there are some persistent memory frameworks out there. I haven't checked any of them out yet and maybe one of them would be perfect so feel free to recommend one. I am also perfectly content to write something myself, particularly if it makes deployment easier for me to do so.</p> <p>Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions!</p> <p>Edit: Looks like I was overlooking a really easy solution. My problem involved SQL only providing 8000 bytes of space to serialize data between calls to a SQL aggregate function I wrote. I read an article on how to compress your data and get the most out of that 8000 bytes, and assumed there was nothing more I could do. As it turns out, I can set the MaxBytes = -1 instead of a range between 0 to 8000 to get up to 2gb of space. I believe that this was something new they added in the 3.5 framework because there are various articles out there talking about this 8000 byte limitation.</p> <p>Thank you all for you answers though as this is a problem I've wanted to solve for other reasons in the past and now I know what to do if I need a really easy and fast way to communicate between apps.</p>
