ThreadStatic Modified with Static C#
C#StaticThread StaticC# Problem Overview
I have some code where I use a thread static object in C#.
[ThreadStatic]
private DataContext connection
I was wondering, in this case, what if any change would I get if I put the static modifier on the thread static context?
[ThreadStatic]
private static DataContext connection
With the first would there be one copy of the context per instance per thread, with the other only one copy per thread?
C# Solutions
Solution 1 - C#
The ThreadStaticAttribute
is only designed to be used on static variables, as the documentation points out. If you use it on an instance variable, I suspect it will do precisely nothing.
Solution 2 - C#
In the first case it would probably be ignored, whereas in the second case you are correct, one instance per thread.
Solution 3 - C#
In Microsoft Docs, it says:
> Indicates that the value of a static field is unique for each thread.
So I guess your first case is incorrect. The attribute will probably be ignored.
