Is .NET DateTime thread safe

Question

Is .NET DateTime thread safe? I\'m not worried if the read operation returns incorrect value, my only concern is: will DateTime object get corrupted if not synchron

Answer 1

DateTime is an immutable value type (struct). You cannot change an instance once created.

It will not get corrupted and is thread safe.

If you are changing a DateTime variable from multiple threads (either writing or reading/writing), you need to synchronize - as this operation is not thread safe.
