ASP.Net and Thread.GetNamedDataSlot

[Aamir Mahmood]

Hi,
Is is safe to use Thread.GetNamedDataSlot function inside a ASP.Net
application?

I am afraid if IIS manipulates the threads and my DataSlot is lost in that.

Thanks.

AM.

I am very leery of multi-threading code in a web application. While .NET is
very good at cleaning up after mistakes, it is not 100%.

Not sure on that particular call, however.

Why do you need multi-threading in your web app?

Actually i am not using multi-threading in the ASP.net code. The problem is
that huge amount of code has been written. But due to a design flaw, now I
need to send some information to an external assembly. The only way I can
think of is to use the Data slot. So that i can set it on the code behind,
and up in the callstack the external assemly can retrieve that data.

I know it is not a good solution. But this is the only way I can think of.

Only thing I am afraid is that if IIS (not my code) completes the web
request with more than one (sequentially run) threads. And the data that I
set to the thread at code behind, is not available in the external assembly
because IIS messed with it.
