Thread-safe List<T> property

c#, collections, properties, thread-safety

Solution

If you are targetting .Net 4 there are a few options in System.Collections.Concurrent Namespace

You could use `ConcurrentBag<T>` in this case instead of `List<T>`

Problem

I want an implementation of `List<T>` as a property which can be used thread-safely without any doubt. Something like this: ``` private List<T> _list; private List<T> MyT { get { // return a copy of _list; } set { _list = value; } } ``` It seems still I need to return a copy (cloned) of collection so if somewhere we are iterating the collection and at the same time the collection is set, then no exception is raised. How to implement a thread-safe collection property?
