volatile -- C# Keyword
- The volatile modifier is usually used for a field that is accessed by multiple threads without using the lock statement to serialize access.
- The volatile keyword can be applied to fields of these types:
- Reference types.
- Pointer types (in an unsafe context). Note that although the pointer itself can be volatile, the object that it points to cannot. In other words, you cannot declare a "pointer to volatile."
- Types such as sbyte, byte, short, ushort, int, uint, char, float, and bool.
- An enum type with one of the following base types: byte, sbyte, short, ushort, int, or uint.
- Generic type parameters known to be reference types.
- IntPtr and UIntPtr.
