Webgardening

[J-T]

I have two questions in IIS,

1) If I assign my ASP.NET application to an application pool with one
worker process only ,and if the worker process is supposed to be shut down
after 20 minutes what happens to to my global variables like application
objects and etc.


2) If I enable webgardening (maximum number of 4 differnt worker process)
,then how these worker processes interact with my application objects .Are
my application objects are accessible in all of them? Is there still the
concept of AppDomains here in this scenario?


Thanks

Good questions!

1) If I assign my ASP.NET application to an application pool with one
worker process only ,and if the worker process is supposed to be shut down
after 20 minutes what happens to to my global variables like application
objects and etc.

When the applications shuts down, all in-memory objects are destroyed. You
will need to handle that eventuality.

2) If I enable webgardening (maximum number of 4 differnt worker process)
,then how these worker processes interact with my application objects .Are
my application objects are accessible in all of them? Is there still the
concept of AppDomains here in this scenario?

Application data is not shared between applications. You could implement a
database solution for any data that needs to be shared.

If you are going to go into the web farm environment,
you may want to take a serious look at this product.
ScaleOut State Server

We use it and it works extremely well and does
provide an easy mechanism to share objects
across app domains and across servers in the
farm.
