Do Static variables defined in Global.asax ever expire?

Question

User-2053865247 posted

 In my default.aspx.cs Page_Load, do I ever have to worry that the following statement will throw a null reference exception? (Please also see global.asax.cs at the bottom of this post)

if (Global.Debug) 
{
// do something 
}

In other words, do static variables that are defined in the Global class ever "expire"?  My assumption is "No" but I'm curious to hear what you think.  Thanks, Matt

 

    public class Global : System.Web.HttpApplication
    {
        public static bool Debug = false;
        
        void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (System.Diagnostics.Debugger.IsAttached)
            {
                Debug = true;
            }
        }
    }

It expire in the following conditions :

1) IIS Restart

2) Application Pool Reset

3) Memory outage

This conditions applied only if you are using "InProc" , if you are using 'OutProc" session state than this will not apply.

Hope this will helps !!!
