Thread Safety

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

Remarks

System.Reflection.AmbiguousMatchException is thrown when a search that is intended to return no more than one match, detects multiple matching items. For example, this exception is thrown when the Attribute.GetCustomAttribute(MemberInfo, Type) methods (which return a single custom attribute), find multiple occurrences of the attribute. [Edit]
