Remarks
HybridDictionary implements the IsSynchronized property because it is required by the System.Collections.ICollection interface.
Derived classes can provide a synchronized version of the HybridDictionary using the SyncRoot property.
Enumerating through a collection is intrinsically not a thread-safe procedure. Even when a collection is synchronized, other threads could still modify the collection, which causes the enumerator to throw an exception. To guarantee thread safety during enumeration, you can either lock the collection during the entire enumeration or catch the exceptions resulting from changes made by other threads.
[Visual Basic, C#] The following code example shows how to lock the collection using the SyncRoot during the entire enumeration:
[C#] HybridDictionary myCollection = new HybridDictionary(); lock( myCollection.SyncRoot ) { foreach ( Object item in myCollection ) { // Insert your code here. } } [Visual Basic] Dim myCollection As New HybridDictionary() Dim item As Object SyncLock myCollection.SyncRoot For Each item In myCollection ' Insert your code here. Next item End SyncLock
