Thanks moon_stick,

Sorry for any inconvenience. I like to study internals and find why besides just the rules. Smile | :)

It is good that we find the root reason why string class is thread safe because it is immutable.

regards and have a good weekend,
George

Im surprised that after being told coutless times to read the docs before asking a question you still don't bother. However this does not change the reality that you still don't.

Do you see how this applies to the current situation?

Thanks J4amieC,

I agree with the conclusion. My question is about why.

I think the reason why all methods of string class are thread safe is because string is immutable, i.e. when the string is modified, a new instance is created. Agree or?

regards,
George

Are you not familiar with George? Yes, he is an odd one, although not sure "odd" does him justice. I believe he has some crazy job that pays him by the number of internet forum posts he makes.

I'm sure I should be flattered but given that Microsoft wrote the class, I'd probably believe their documentation over anything I have to say.

Do not expect George to understand even the simplest things from any documentation. Oh and, good luck.

Thanks Abhijit,

It talks about the general thread safety rule, not about my specific question about thread safety for string. Smile | :)

Any new ideas or comments?

Thanks Abhijit,

I think all string operations are thread-safe. Since when we modify a string, a new string instance will be created. Do you think it is correct? Smile | :)
