asp.net + static/shared classes

Im experience some problems with static/shared classes in asp.net, Im saving
some object as static so that they are allways available but the code in the
static/shared constructors doesnt seem to execute??

Im experience some problems with static/shared classes in asp.net, Im
saving some object as static so that they are allways available but
the code in the static/shared constructors doesnt seem to execute??

Are just calling the functions directly... i.e: SharedClass.SharedFunction?

If this is the case, the constructor won't be executed since the object is
not really created. If you wish to execute the constructor, you'll need to
explicitly create the object (i.e. dim object = new object()).

hmmm, Im using C#, I dont think you can initialize a static object with new?

You should show some code that you think is not executing, and give us the
minimum relevant code to look at.

Also, try setting a breakpoint in the static constructor before the first
reference to a static object is made in your app (so do this right after
asp.net restarts, but before the first call to your object happens).
