I came across the ThreadStatic attribute today, but I'm a bit confused
by it.
I understand that it makes a variable static to a particular thread,
so each thread will have it's own value for it (unlike a regular
static variable). But then what makes it different to just an
ordinary class level variable? In other words, what's the difference
between var1 and var2 below?
public class Test
{
[ThreadStatic]
public static int var1;
public int var2;
}

Ordinary variables are shared between threads. So, if thread X sets
values for var1 and var2, and thread Y reads them, it will see the new
value for var2, but not the new value for var1.

Hello,
I've some namespace problems when defining default values for attributes.
My problem seems to come from the fact that the attributes are defined in a

Hi,
I am using .NET 2.0.
Suppose I mark a static variable with the ThreadStatic attribute in a class.
From some method in the class, if I pass that variable to an object of
another class as an argument in a method, would it be maintained as a
reference in the other object ? Subsequently, if the second object spawns a
thread which also accesses this variable, would the two threads be working on
the same instance of the variable ? Or...

I need to set the value of a ThreadStatic field before starting the
thread. According to MSDN, setting the value normally won't work,
because this is done only once. Neither will a static constructor.
Checking for null every time the field is accessed is too slow. The
only idea I have is to use a second, bool, ThreadStatic field to tell
me if the first field has been initialized. Is there a better way?

HI
I am trying to understand Attribute usage. For example the class
SerializableAttribute is a class correct? So why when it is actually u

the AttributeUsageAttribute class and on and on. I don't get it.

Hi!
I'm using xsl:attribute-sets to reduce redundancy in my XSLT.
An example from a transformation to XHTML (the attribute values are
simply copied from input to output):

<xsl:attribute name="align">
<xsl:value-of select="@align" />

As an exercise I'm attempting to write a metaclass that causes an

Consider:

Hello everyone,
I had read somewhere that it is preferred to use
self.__class__.attribute over ClassName.attribute to access class (aka
static) attributes. I had done this and it seamed to work, until I
subclassed a class using this technique and from there on things started
screwing up. I finally tracked it down to self.__class__.attribute! What
was happening is that the child classes each over-rode the class
attribute at their level,...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
