I'm trying to simulate the .NET 2.0 Database Cache Dependency stuff (well kind of, WAY simpler obviously). What I'm doing is running a little timer class as a static property of my global.asax.cs file...like so:

public static TimerClass timr = new TimerClass();

My actual timer class thing is really simple, it just adds items to a queue on each tick; in the actual app this will fire a simple stored procedure and only add certain items if the item has been updated. This is all really to get round requiring a context to update some stuff in the cache...this way I can do it 'offline'

using System;

using System.Timers;&gt;

namespace CacheTimerTest

{

/// 

/// Summary description for TimerClass.

/// 

public class TimerClass

{

public TimerClass()

{

Timer timer = new Timer();

timer.Enabled=true;

timer.Interval=5000;

timer.Start();

timer.Elapsed +=new ElapsedEventHandler(timer\_Elapsed);

}

private void timer\_Elapsed(object sender, ElapsedEventArgs e)

{

if(!Global.qu.Contains("update1"))

Global.qu.Enqueue("update1");

}

}

}

So here's my question, can anyone think of a reason why this won't work reliably, as I say, I have a nagging feeling it won't but for the life of me I can't think why...
