Thread Safety

All public static members of this type are safe for multithreaded operations. No instance members are guaranteed to be thread safe.

Remarks

Note:

Classes derived from object can override the following methods of the object class:

• object.Equals(object) - Enables comparisons between objects.
• object.Finalize - Performs clean up operations before an object is automatically reclaimed.
• object.GetHashCode - Generates a number corresponding to the value of the object (to support the use of a hashtable).
• object.ToString - Manufactures a human-readable text string that describes an instance of the class.
