System.ThreadStaticAttribute Class

Summary

Indicates that the value of a static field is unique for each thread.

C# Syntax:

[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Field)] [Serializable] public class ThreadStaticAttribute : Attribute

A static field marked with ThreadStaticAttribute is not shared between threads. Each executing thread has a separate instance of the static field, and independently sets and gets values for that field. If the static field is accessed on a different thread, it will contain a different value.

Use this attribute as it is, and do not derive from it. The following is an example of ThreadStaticAttribute syntax:

          				[ThreadStatic]
          				static int value = 3;

Public Constructors

ctor #1

Default constructor. This constructor is called by derived class constructors to initialize state in this type. Initializes a new instance of the ThreadStaticAttribute class.

Public Properties

TypeId (inherited from System.Attribute)

Read-only See base class member description: System.Attribute.TypeId When implemented in a derived class, gets a unique identifier for this Attribute.

Public Methods

Equals (inherited from System.Object)	See base class member description: System.Object.Equals Derived from System.Object, the primary base class for all objects.
GetHashCode (inherited from System.Attribute)	See base class member description: System.Attribute.GetHashCode Returns the hash code for this instance.
GetType (inherited from System.Object)	See base class member description: System.Object.GetType Derived from System.Object, the primary base class for all objects.
IsDefaultAttribute (inherited from System.Attribute)	See base class member description: System.Attribute.IsDefaultAttribute When overridden in a derived class, returns an indication whether the value of this instance is the default value for the derived class.
Match (inherited from System.Attribute)	See base class member description: System.Attribute.Match When overridden in a derived class, returns a value indicating whether this instance equals a specified object.

System.ThreadStaticAttribute Member Details

Summary

Initializes a new instance of the ThreadStaticAttribute class.

Default constructor. This constructor is called by derived class constructors to initialize state in this type.

C# Syntax:

public ThreadStaticAttribute();

Return to top

Inherited
See base class member description: System.Attribute.TypeId

Summary

When implemented in a derived class, gets a unique identifier for this Attribute.

C# Syntax:

public virtual object TypeId {get;}

As implemented, this identifier is merely the Type of the attribute. However, it is intended that the unique identifier be used to identify two attributes of the same type.

Summary

Returns the hash code for this instance.

C# Syntax:

public override int GetHashCode();

Return Value:

A 32-bit signed integer hash code.

Inherited
See base class member description: System.Attribute.IsDefaultAttribute

Summary

When overridden in a derived class, returns an indication whether the value of this instance is the default value for the derived class.

C# Syntax:

public virtual bool IsDefaultAttribute();

Return Value:

true if this instance is the default attribute for the class; otherwise, false.

The default implementation of this class returns false, and must be implemented in the derived class to be useful to that class.

The implementation of this method in a derived class compares the value of this instance to a standard, default value obtained by some means, then returns a Boolean value that indicates whether the value of this instance is equal to the standard. The standard value is typically coded as a constant in the implementation, or stored programmatically in a field used by the implementation.

Inherited
See base class member description: System.Attribute.Match

Summary

When overridden in a derived class, returns a value indicating whether this instance equals a specified object.

C# Syntax:

public virtual bool Match(    object obj );

obj

An Object to compare with this instance of Attribute.

Return Value:

true if this instance equals obj; otherwise, false.

This method determines if one Attribute equals another. Its default implementation is the same as Attribute.Equals, which performs a value and reference comparison. Override this method to implement support for attribute values, such as flags or bitfields, that consist of components that are meaningful in themselves. For example, consider an attribute whose value is a binary field divided into a bitfield of flags. Two instances of this attribute have one flag in set in common while all the other flags differ. The Equal method cannot determine that the two instances have the same flag set, but the Match method can.
