UnsafeQueueUserWorkItem(IThreadPoolWorkItem, Boolean) |
Queues the specified work item object to the thread pool. |
UnsafeQueueUserWorkItem(WaitCallback, Object) |
Queues the specified delegate to the thread pool, but does not propagate the calling stack to the worker thread. |
UnsafeQueueUserWorkItem<TState>(Action<TState>, TState, Boolean) |
Queues a method specified by an Action<T> delegate for execution, and specifies an object containing data to be used by the method. The method executes when a thread pool thread becomes available. |
Queues the specified work item object to the thread pool.
public:
static bool UnsafeQueueUserWorkItem(System::Threading::IThreadPoolWorkItem ^ callBack, bool preferLocal);
public static bool UnsafeQueueUserWorkItem(System.Threading.IThreadPoolWorkItem callBack, bool preferLocal);
static member UnsafeQueueUserWorkItem : System.Threading.IThreadPoolWorkItem * bool -> bool
Public Shared Function UnsafeQueueUserWorkItem (callBack As IThreadPoolWorkItem, preferLocal As Boolean) As Boolean
The work item to invoke when a thread in the thread pool picks up the work item.
true
to prefer queueing the work item in a queue close to the current thread; false
to prefer queueing the work item to the thread pool's shared queue.
true
if the method succeeds; OutOfMemoryException is thrown if the work item could not be queued.
callBack
is null
.
The work item is a Task.
The work item could not be queued.
The thread pool will invoke the work item's Execute() method. It is the responsibility of that work item to propagate ExecutionContext if it's needed; the thread pool will not do so.

Queues the specified delegate to the thread pool, but does not propagate the calling stack to the worker thread.
public:
static bool UnsafeQueueUserWorkItem(System::Threading::WaitCallback ^ callBack, System::Object ^ state);
public static bool UnsafeQueueUserWorkItem(System.Threading.WaitCallback callBack, object? state);
public static bool UnsafeQueueUserWorkItem(System.Threading.WaitCallback callBack, object state);

public static bool UnsafeQueueUserWorkItem(System.Threading.WaitCallback callBack, object state);
static member UnsafeQueueUserWorkItem : System.Threading.WaitCallback * obj -> bool
[<System.Security.SecurityCritical>]
static member UnsafeQueueUserWorkItem : System.Threading.WaitCallback * obj -> bool
Public Shared Function UnsafeQueueUserWorkItem (callBack As WaitCallback, state As Object) As Boolean
A WaitCallback that represents the delegate to invoke when a thread in the thread pool picks up the work item.
The object that is passed to the delegate when serviced from the thread pool.
true
if the method succeeds; OutOfMemoryException is thrown if the work item could not be queued.
The caller does not have the required permission.
An out-of-memory condition was encountered.
The work item could not be queued.
callBack
is null
.
Unlike the QueueUserWorkItem method, UnsafeQueueUserWorkItem does not propagate the calling stack to the worker thread. This allows code to lose the calling stack and thereby to elevate its security privileges.
Caution
Using UnsafeQueueUserWorkItem could inadvertently open up a security hole. Code access security bases its permission checks on the permissions of all the callers on the stack. When work is queued on a thread pool thread using UnsafeQueueUserWorkItem, the stack of the thread pool thread will not have the context of the actual callers. Malicious code might be able exploit this to avoid permission checks.
