Thread local storage

Question

what is the best way to store some variable local to each thread?

Answer 1

Another option in the case that scope is an issue you can used Named Data Slots e.g.

    //setting
    LocalDataStoreSlot lds =  System.Threading.Thread.AllocateNamedDataSlot("foo");
    System.Threading.Thread.SetData(lds, "SomeValue");

    //getting
    LocalDataStoreSlot lds = System.Threading.Thread.GetNamedDataSlot("foo");
    string somevalue = System.Threading.Thread.GetData(lds).ToString();

This is only a good idea if you can't do what James Kovacs and AdamSane described
