from a Thread, using GDI+.

Did you look at the help for the Graphics class? Here is a quote:

'Thread Safety
Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread
safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.'

So I guess the answer is no.

Greetings everyone, Here is a random string generator I wrote for an application and I'm wondering about the thread-safety of this function. I was told using static and global variables cause potential problems for thread-safety. So far, I'm only confused. I need a proper explanation for the concept so I can understand how to write thread-safe functions in the future. My apologies for posting a long routine.

Could someone explain how this works. I think the graphics card is used to do blitting and drawing shapes like rectangles. How does it draw using the Graphics card on the PC and why is this feature left out of GDI+?. *** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***

I was often noted by Thread Safety declarations when I was reading .NET Framework Class Library documents in MSDN. The declaration is usually described as 'Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.' So, does this mean All the static/shared methods written in .NET compatible programming language, such as C#, VB.NET, are guaranteed to be...

Hi all, Does anyone have experience on the thread-safty issue with malloc()? Some people said this function provided in stdlib.h is not thread- safe, but someone said it is thread safe. Is it possible this function evolves from thread-unsafe to thread-safe in recent years? How could i find out? I am using the C library coming with GNU linux distribution. thanks a lot.
