Question

Is it possible to retrieve all the static objects which have been created in the current appdomain? I’m trying to write a debug page for an existing asp.net web site. which holds a lot of information in a caches based on singleton objects.

thanks

Here’s something to get you started:

IList<Assembly> assemblies = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies();

List<Type> allTypes = new List<Type>();

foreach (Assembly assembly in assemblies)
{
    var types = from t in assembly.GetTypes()
                where bootStrapperType.IsAssignableFrom(t)
                    && !t.IsInterface && !t.IsAbstract
                select t;

    allTypes.AddRange(types);
}

foreach(Type type in allTypes)
{
    var fieldsPublic = type.GetFields(BindingFlags.Public|BindingFlags.Static);
    foreach(var field in fieldsPublic)
    {
       var nameAndValue = field.Name + " = " + field.GetValue(null);
       // Do something
    }
    var fieldsPrivate = type.GetFields(BindingFlags.Private|BindingFlags.Static);
    foreach(var field in fieldsPrivate)
    {
       var nameAndValue = field.Name + " = " + field.GetValue(null);
       // Do something.
    }
}
