I have a windows service in which multiple tables are checked per request. The average load of requests is 100 requests per minute. I am using the project setting.xml file to store the connection strings.
Does it really matter if I use a singleton class or use the XML file? Is any mechanism used in reading the setting file to minimize access to this file? Should I use a singleton class and read the XML file in there?
Thanks
You will likely shave a few milliseconds by using a singleton class, since it’s in memory rather then on disk (as the settings file would be). Not a massive amount admittedly, but it’s better then nothing.
