.NET 3.5: What is the "ValidatorCollection.IsSynchronized" Property "synchronized" to?

Question

Hi, I understand that in .NET 3.5 the

ValidatorCollection.IsSynchronized property

return a Boolean telling me if it is synchronized or not. However, I'm having a hard time understand what is it synchronizing with or to?

The MSDN manual simply says:

Gets a value that indicates whether the ValidatorCollection collection is synchronized.

which doesn't help much...

Answer 1

It just means that it is thread-safe.

Answer 2

It's synchronized with itself. You can perform operations on it from different threads, safely.

Answer 3

MSDN also says in the remarks :

If the collection is synchronized, it is thread safe.
