Is there a way to keep weakreference a strong reference for life time of class -
I am referring specifically to PRIMS's Eventaggregator
I know one could subscribe for a strong reference, but I like to subscribe to a weak reference so garbage collection does not have to be worried about.
The weak reference subscription is the life time of the class.
In a method setting a weak reference target to a local variable in the method will prevent the garbage collection for the life time of the method call.
Will setting a class variable to a weak reference target variable say in the constructor keep the weak reference target as a strong reference for the life of the class?
Is doing something like this a good or bad idea and why?
