.NET Framework Class Library
SynchronizedCollection<(Of <(T>)>) Class

Provides a thread-safe collection that contains objects of a type specified by the generic parameter as elements.

Namespace:  System.Collections.Generic
Assembly:  System.ServiceModel (in System.ServiceModel.dll)
Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)
<ComVisibleAttribute(False)> _
Public Class SynchronizedCollection(Of T) _
    Implements IList(Of T), ICollection(Of T),  _
    IEnumerable(Of T), IList, ICollection, IEnumerable
Visual Basic (Usage)
Dim instance As SynchronizedCollection(Of T)
C#
[ComVisibleAttribute(false)]
public class SynchronizedCollection<T> : IList<T>, 
    ICollection<T>, IEnumerable<T>, IList, ICollection, IEnumerable
Visual C++
[ComVisibleAttribute(false)]
generic<typename T>
public ref class SynchronizedCollection : IList<T>, 
    ICollection<T>, IEnumerable<T>, IList, ICollection, IEnumerable
JScript
JScript does not support generic types or methods.

Type Parameters

T

The type of object contained as items in the thread-safe collection.

Remarks

The SynchronizedCollection<(Of <(T>)>) stores data in a List<(Of <(T>)>) container and provides an object that can be set and used to synchronize access to the collection so that it is thread-safe. The IList<(Of <(T>)>) container can be recovered using the Items method. The synchronized object can be recovered using the SyncRoot property. It can only be set using one of the constructors that take the syncRoot parameter.

Thread Safe or Not?
The description claims it's thread safe but the Thread Safety section says it's not guaranteed to be thread safe. So does this class just give me a SyncRoot to use to make thread safe calls? Do I still have to wrap the instance methods in a "lock". I would assume so.
