Static class info across multiple application instances?

Question

See more:

If I change a static class variable in one application instance and I have multiple instantiated applications using the same dll will I be able to see that specific modification from one of my other applications? I'm thinking yes but I'd like to know for a fact. Any words of wisdom?

Thanx

No. Instance data as well as static data only exists inside a single process. In order to share data amongst applications, you must take special steps and use one of many available mechanisms, e.g. memory-mapped files.
