Is List thread-safe for reading?

Question

Is the following pseudocode thread-safe ?

IList dataList = SomeNhibernateRepository.GetData();

Parallel.For(..i..)
{
    foreach(var item in dataLi         


        

Answer 1

It's fully thread-safe as long as DoSomething(item) doesn't modify dataList. Since you said it doesn't, then yes, that is thread-safe.
