My application has multiple threads that need to send byte arrays at independant times. Will i run into problems if two seperate threads call the same method containing a binarywriter.write statement. Also i have two seperate methods that write to the stream. What happens if they are execute simultaneously. I didnt see anything about the write method being threadsafe.
sample code:
//called by multiple threads
public
int SendProfile(byte[] outgoingArray){
...
writeMessage.Write(outgoingArray);
...
}
//sent every second
public
int SendStatus(Int32 i_p_MessageID, Int32 i_p_SeqNum, Int32 i_p_SD_Status,Int32 i_p_SW_Status,Int32 i_p_SG_Status,string stripID){
...
writeMessage.Write(bSystemStatusArray);
...
}
using binarywriter.write with multiple threads

BinaryWriter instance members (like Write) are not guarenteed to be thread-safe.
You should use the lock statement to ensure only one thread at a time is using the BinaryWriter.
