Other Server Global Data

[rondunn]

I'm writing a server application which uses some common data for each call.

This data takes a very long time to load, and can't be loaded for each call. The data is read-only.

How do I pass a reference to this data to a server thread, or access that data from within the thread?

Just store it in a global variable (probably one of the collections will do nicely) declared in Main. Make sure it's Public. It can be accessed from any module. Since you're only reading from this data, you don't have to worry about concurrency issues.

As simple as that? Gee, I feel stupid for looking for something more complex.

Thank you, Roycefer.
