C# | Check if StringDictionary is synchronized (thread safe) (original) (raw)
Last Updated : 01 Feb, 2019
StringDictionary.IsSynchronized property is used to get a value indicating whether access to the StringDictionary is synchronized (thread-safe).Syntax:
public virtual bool IsSynchronized { get; }
Return Value: This method returns True if access to the StringDictionary is synchronized (thread safe), otherwise it returns False.Example:
CSHARP `
// C# code to check if StringDictionary // is synchronized (thread safe) using System; using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Specialized;
class GFG {
// Driver code
public static void Main()
{
// Creating a StringDictionary named myDict
StringDictionary myDict = new StringDictionary();
// Adding key and value into the StringDictionary
myDict.Add("A", "Apple");
myDict.Add("B", "Banana");
myDict.Add("C", "Cat");
myDict.Add("D", "Dog");
myDict.Add("E", "Elephant");
// Checking if StringDictionary
// is synchronized (thread safe)
Console.WriteLine(myDict.IsSynchronized);
}
}
`
Output:
False
Note:
- Retrieving the value of this property is an O(1) operation.
- A StringDictionary instance is not synchronized. Derived classes can provide a synchronized version of the StringDictionary using the SyncRoot property.
