Gets a value indicating whether access to the ICollection is synchronized (thread safe).
property bool System::Collections::ICollection::IsSynchronized { bool get(); };bool System.Collections.ICollection.IsSynchronized { get; }member this.System.Collections.ICollection.IsSynchronized : bool ReadOnly Property IsSynchronized As Boolean Implements ICollection.IsSynchronizedProperty Value
true if access to the ICollection is synchronized (thread safe); otherwise, false. In the default implementation of SortedDictionary<TKey,TValue>.KeyCollection, this property always returns false.

Remarks
Default implementations of collections in the System.Collections.Generic namespace are not synchronized.
Enumerating through a collection is intrinsically not a thread-safe procedure. To guarantee thread safety during enumeration, you can lock the collection during the entire enumeration. To allow the collection to be accessed by multiple threads for reading and writing, you must implement your own synchronization.
The SyncRoot property returns an object that can be used to synchronize access to the ICollection. Synchronization is effective only if all threads lock the object before accessing the collection.
Getting the value of this property is an O(1) operation.
