Remarks

Freezing an object puts the object into an irreversible read-only state that facilitates performance optimizations and sharing across threads.

An example use of this class is in the taxonomy navigation cache, which freezes its objects so that the cached instances can be returned without a copy. Freezing guarantees that the caller cannot modify the cached object.

Thread safety

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
