Class ThreadSafeReference

An object intended to be passed between threads containing a thread-safe reference to its thread-confined object.

To resolve a thread-safe reference on a target Realm on a different thread, pass it to Realm.ResolveReference.

Inheritance

Object

ThreadSafeReference

ThreadSafeReference.List<T>

ThreadSafeReference.Object<T>

ThreadSafeReference.Query<T>

Namespace: Realms

Assembly: Realm.dll

Syntax

public abstract class ThreadSafeReference

Remarks

A ThreadSafeReference object must be resolved at most once.

Failing to resolve a ThreadSafeReference will result in the source version of the Realm being pinned until the reference is deallocated.

Prefer short-lived ThreadSafeReferences as the data for the version of the source Realm will be retained until all references have been resolved or deallocated.

Methods

Create<T>(T)

Initializes a new instance of the ThreadSafeReference.Object<T> class.

Declaration

public static ThreadSafeReference.Object<T> Create<T>(T value)

    where T : RealmObject

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
T	value	The thread-confined RealmObject to create a thread-safe reference to.

Returns

Type	Description
ThreadSafeReference.Object<T>	A ThreadSafeReference that can be passed to Realm.ResolveReference(ThreadSafeReference.Object) on a different thread.

Type Parameters

Name	Description
T	The type of the RealmObject.

Create<T>(IList<T>)

Initializes a new instance of the ThreadSafeReference.List<T> class.

Declaration

public static ThreadSafeReference.List<T> Create<T>(IList<T> value)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
IList<T>	value	The thread-confined IList<T> to create a thread-safe reference to. It must be a collection representing to-many relationship as a property of a RealmObject

Returns

Type	Description
ThreadSafeReference.List<T>	A ThreadSafeReference that can be passed to Realm.ResolveReference(ThreadSafeReference.List) on a different thread.

Type Parameters

Name	Description
T	The type of the objects contained in the list.

Create<T>(IQueryable<T>)

Initializes a new instance of the ThreadSafeReference.Query<T> class.

Declaration

public static ThreadSafeReference.Query<T> Create<T>(IQueryable<T> value)

    where T : RealmObject

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
IQueryable<T>	value	The thread-confined IQueryable<T> to create a thread-safe reference to. It must be a collection, obtained by calling All(String) or a subsequent LINQ query.

Returns

Type	Description
ThreadSafeReference.Query<T>	A ThreadSafeReference that can be passed to Realm.ResolveReference(ThreadSafeReference.Query) on a different thread.

Type Parameters

Name	Description
T	The type of the RealmObject contained in the query.
