This element is used to indicate whether or not a class or structure's static and instance members are safe for use in multi-threaded scenarios.
Syntax
This top-level element is valid on all classes and structures.
<threadsafety static="true | false" instance="true | false" />
The static attribute specifies whether static members of the class or structure are safe for use in multi-threaded operations. The instance attribute specifies whether instance members of the class or structure are safe for use in multi-threaded operations. If neither attribute is specified, it is the same as setting static to true and instance to false.
