The documentation states the IsReusable method turns on object pooling.
What does this mean, exactly?
If I were to put a field into an HttpHandler that returns true for
IsResuable, is that field guaranteed to be available for all subsequent
requests to the handler until the server is restarted?

Dan,

Where in the documentation does it say it turns on
pooling? I just implemented a quickie to try this
out and I couldn't get it to create a second instance
of my IHttpHandler implementation. It definately
is reusing the one that I have, and I am setting
a field during the initial processing and reusing
it each time.

As for the lifespan of the handler, I would suspect
that it would get collected after ASP.NET recycles
itself. So far I haven't been able to witness this
on my laptop.

Mitch,

Thanks for looking into this.

(And just to make sure we're clear...this has nothing to do with COM+
object pooling.)

The exact lifetime of the handler doesn't seem to be documented.
