If have I have multiple processes accessing a registry value thousands of times per second, will there be any significant performance implications of reading this registry value?
The value of the registry value will never change, it will be read only. I guess another question is that is reading the registry value a blocking operation?
The registry value is for storing database connection details, accessed by an ASP.NET applications, Win Forms applications, and WCF services.
Thanks,
Stuart
The registry is fast, really fast. But thousands of times per second? At the very least, cache the value in each application so you only have to read it once on app startup.
