Are reads and writes to properties atomic in C#?

Question

Reads and writes to certain primitive types in C# such as bool and int are atomic.

(See section 5.5, \"5.5 Atomicity of variable reference

Answer 1

I would think not. Properties are essentially just methods with a bit of syntactic sugar on them to make them a little easier to work with. So by default they're no more thread-safe than a normal method call (which is to say, not thread-safe at all).
