I have a question regarding the application state in asp.net. As i know, data stored in application state is not permanent, data lost when the application is restarted/stopped. So, what does the 'application is restarted/stopped' mean?
2nd Question: If there are few data store in the application state, let's say 3-4 data, will it affect the performance of the page/server if i keep reading the data in application state every 1 second?
