How do you ensure thread safety when accessing collections in a multi-threaded environment?
- Use thread-safe collections provided by .NET (ConcurrentDictionary,
ConcurrentQueue, BlockingCollection, etc.).
- Use synchronization primitives like lock, Mutex, Semaphore, or
ReaderWriterLock around critical sections when using non-thread-safe
collections.
- Avoid shared mutable state or design the program to minimize contention.
- Use immutable collections when possible to eliminate synchronization.
