Remarks

Important

Beginning with .NET Framework 2.0, the Exchange<T>(T, T) method overload provides a type-safe alternative for reference types. We recommend that you call it instead of this overload.

Applies to

Exchange<T>(T, T)

Source:: Interlocked.CoreCLR.cs

Source:: Interlocked.CoreCLR.cs

Source:: Interlocked.CoreCLR.cs

Sets a variable of the specified type T to a specified value and returns the original value, as an atomic operation.

public:
generic <typename T>
 where T : class static T Exchange(T % location1, T value);

public:
generic <typename T>
 static T Exchange(T % location1, T value);

public static T Exchange<T> (ref T location1, T value) where T : class;

public static T Exchange<T> (ref T location1, T value);

[System.Runtime.InteropServices.ComVisible(false)]
public static T Exchange<T> (ref T location1, T value) where T : class;

static member Exchange : 'T * 'T -> 'T (requires 'T : null)

static member Exchange : 'T * 'T -> 'T

[<System.Runtime.InteropServices.ComVisible(false)>]
static member Exchange : 'T * 'T -> 'T (requires 'T : null)

Public Shared Function Exchange(Of T As Class) (ByRef location1 As T, value As T) As T

Public Shared Function Exchange(Of T) (ByRef location1 As T, value As T) As T

Type Parameters

T

The type to be used for location1 and value. This type must be a reference type.

Parameters

location1: T

The variable to set to the specified value. This is a reference parameter (ref in C#, ByRef in Visual Basic).

value: T

The value to which the location1 parameter is set.

Returns

The original value of location1.

Attributes: ComVisibleAttribute

Exceptions

NullReferenceException

The address of location1 is a null pointer.

NotSupportedException

An unsupported T is specified.

Remarks

This method only supports reference types. There are overloads of the Exchange method for the Int32, Int64, IntPtr, Single, and Double value types, but there is no support for other value types.

Note

This method overload is preferable to the Exchange(Object, Object) method overload, because the latter requires late-bound access to the destination object .
