Can a Singleton Class inside a DLL be shared across processes?

Question

I am creating a custom .net hardware framework that will be used by other programmers to control some hardware. They will add a reference to our DLL to get to our hardware f

Answer 1

Yes it is possible to share a singleton amongst several processes. However you will need to take advantage of a technology which supports interprocess communication in order to achieve this result.

The most popular technologies which allow you to share out your object fairly directly are Remoting and WCF.

Giving an example of sharing a singleton with either of these is beyond the scope of an SO answer. But there are many tutorials on the web for each of these. Googling either technology plus singleton should put you on the right path.
