In a previous thread, Mr. Rob Howard has done a superb job of talking
about the Application vs. Cache objects.

What about Application object vs. static fields. If we have a class
that needs encapsulated shared state, is there a reason to use the
Application or Cache objects instead of just static fields?

Hi Dan,

If the data is encapsulated within the class and you have no need for
dependency features, such as those available with the ASP.NET Cache,
static fields would be best.

Note, static fields are also faster to access than Application/Cache -
but not enough for you or I to notice a difference ;)

Thanks!
Rob

You will still have to decide where to put your "object" (the one with the
static field), i.e. does the "data" need to be available across page
requests for a single user, or application wide for all users?

Same question, just a different object.
