Re: can an instance method be thread safe

Mike,

Not completely. Since you are accessing this.Name, that needs to be
thread safe. If access to this.Name is thread safe, then in this case, yes,
this is thread safe.

Hope this helps.

If an instance method does not alter the containing class or any arguments
of
a referenced type is it thread safe?

public void GetSomething() {
return new Something(this.Name);
}
public string Name;

Thanks,

Mike
