that isn't necessarily a good thing.

Why ?

Static entities are not necessarily thread-safe. Be careful about when
you use them.


I say it is safe. Because it is "static". Static means "fixed", not
modifiable. Otherwise,
it is dynamic, which may not be safe. Static data only get changed when
ASP.net
recycles.

Example: Static data may be loaded in a singleton class. In this case,
whomever
references the variable 1st will load the class. The class will stay there
until Asp.Net recycles
and or web server service is restarted.
