Lazy<T> Constructor (Func<T>, Boolean)
Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.
Initializes a new instance of the Lazy<T> class. When lazy initialization occurs, the specified initialization function and initialization mode are used.
Namespace: System
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public Sub New ( _
valueFactory As Func(Of T), _
isThreadSafe As Boolean _
)
public Lazy(
Func<T> valueFactory,
bool isThreadSafe
)
Parameters
- valueFactory
Type: System.Func<T>
The delegate that is invoked to produce the lazily initialized value when it is needed.
- isThreadSafe
Type: System.Boolean
true to make this instance usable concurrently by multiple threads; false to make this instance usable by only one thread at a time.
Exceptions
Exception | Condition |
---|---|
ArgumentNullException | valueFactory is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic). |
Remarks
The thread safety mode of a Lazy<T> instance that is created by using this constructor is LazyThreadSafetyMode.ExecutionAndPublication if isThreadSafe is true; otherwise, the mode is LazyThreadSafetyMode.None. The thread safety mode describes the behavior when multiple threads try to initialize the Lazy<T> instance.
To specify the LazyThreadSafetyMode.PublicationOnly mode, use the Lazy<T>(Func<T>, LazyThreadSafetyMode) or Lazy<T>(LazyThreadSafetyMode) constructor.
Exceptions that are thrown by valueFactory are cached. For more information, see the System.Threading.LazyThreadSafetyMode enumeration.
