Remarks

A static field marked with ContextStaticAttribute is not shared between contexts. If the indicated static field is accessed on a different context, it will contain a different value. Use this attribute as it is, and do not derive from it.

The following example shows the syntax of this attribute:

[ContextStatic]

static int f=7;
