In this post, we will see some concurrent collections that we could use in our multi-threaded application where, managing shared data between threads, can introduce complexity and potential error such as race conditions or deadlocks. .NET addresses these cases with its concurrent collections, found in the System.Collections.Concurrent namespace. These collections are designed to be thread-safe… Read More »
