Is shared safe in this example?

Hi all, quick question - I need a bit of clarity.

If I have a public class with only Public Shared functions in it, in an APS.NET web app (for common procedures) is it
safe (since multiple web pages, can at any time access the code within)

Example below - a simple routine that fills a dropdownlist or list. Would it be safe being accessed at multiple times by
the APSX pages? I think so, but I need an a more knowledgeable opinion.

Public Class MyUtils
Public Shared Function FillList(ByVal objList As Object, ByVal sSql As String, ByVal sConnection As String) As
Boolean
Dim dr As OleDb.OleDbData Reader, Li As ListItem
Dim cn As New OleDb.OleDbConn ection(sConnect ion)
Dim cmd As OleDb.OleDbComm and
Try
cn.Open()
cmd = New OleDb.OleDbComm and(sSql, cn)
dr = cmd.ExecuteRead er(CommandBehav ior.CloseConnec tion)
While dr.Read
Li = New ListItem
Li.Text = dr(0)
Li.Value = dr(1)
objList.Items.A dd(Li)
End While
Catch ex As Exception
Stop
Return False
Finally
cmd.Dispose()
If dr Is Nothing = False Then dr.Close()
cn.Close()
End Try
Return True
End Function
End Class

Usage...
FillList(cmbLis tOfNames, AppSettings("SQ L.PEOPLE"),AppS ettings("CONSTR ING.MANAGEMENT" ))

From what I understand, in ASP.NET, each HTTP requests is serviced by a separate thread. So if my code uses a static Class with shared members and properties, I can manage concurrent access by using something like the Monitor or ReaderWriterLock class. It is rather difficult to simulate multiple threads in a debug environment so I am hoping someone can enlighten me by telling me what happens in the following scenario? A request is made to...

OleDbCommand class like many .NET classes has the following description in its help file: "Thread Safety Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are safe for multithreaded operations. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe." I have 2 questions: 1. I thought dynamic variables are thread-safe since threads have their own

Hi all, We have an ASP.NET 1.1 application running on IIS6 on Server 2003. Most of the base objects we are using in this application are taken from a windows application also written by us. We have used shared properties on some of these objects to enable caching of frequently used objects, so save fetching them from SQL every time. These shared properties vastly increase performance of our windows app.

I am coding a dozen "background" realtime apps for factory automation in .NET 2.0. The apps need to share a common memory as there are lots of variables to be shared (and synchronized of course). I need distinct apps for reasons like user interaction/access rights, error compartments, and because the size of the code, access to various ports, ... In the end the apps should run as Windows Service(s).

I was often noted by Thread Safety declarations when I was reading .NET Framework Class Library documents in MSDN.

Overview: 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,...
