Procedura: aggiungere e rimuovere elementi da un oggetto ConcurrentDictionary
In questo esempio viene illustrato come aggiungere, recuperare, aggiornare e rimuovere elementi da un oggetto System.Collections.Concurrent.ConcurrentDictionary<TKey, TValue>. Questa classe di insiemi è un'implementazione thread-safe. Si consiglia di utilizzarla ogni qualvolta vi è la possibilità che più thread tentino di accedere contemporaneamente agli elementi.
ConcurrentDictionary<TKey, TValue> fornisce diversi metodi pratici grazie ai quali non è più necessario che il codice verifichi l'esistenza di una chiave prima di tentare di aggiungere o rimuovere dati. Nella tabella seguente vengono elencati questi metodi pratici e viene descritto quando utilizzarli.
Metodo |
Utilizzare quando... |
|---|---|
Si desidera aggiungere un nuovo valore per una chiave specificata e, se la chiave già esiste, sostituirne il valore. |
|
Si desidera recuperare il valore esistente di una chiave specificata e, se la chiave non esiste, specificare una coppia chiave/valore. |
|
Si desidera aggiungere, ottenere, aggiornare o rimuovere una coppia chiave/valore e, se la chiave già esiste o il tentativo non riesce per qualsiasi altro motivo, eseguire un'azione alternativa. |
Esempio
Nell'esempio seguente vengono utilizzate due istanze di Task per aggiungere contemporaneamente alcuni elementi a un oggetto ConcurrentDictionary<TKey, TValue>, quindi viene restituito tutto il contenuto a riprova del fatto che gli elementi sono stati aggiunti correttamente. Nell'esempio viene inoltre illustrato come utilizzare i metodi AddOrUpdate, TryGetValue, GetOrAdd e TryRemove per aggiungere, aggiornare, recuperare e rimuovere elementi dall'insieme.

ConcurrentDictionary<TKey, TValue> è pensato per scenari multithreading. Non è necessario utilizzare blocchi nel codice per aggiungere o rimuovere elementi dall'insieme. Tuttavia, è sempre possibile che un thread recuperi un valore mentre un altro thread aggiorna immediatamente l'insieme assegnando alla stessa chiave un nuovo valore.
Inoltre, sebbene tutti i metodi di ConcurrentDictionary<TKey, TValue> siano thread-safe, non tutti i metodi sono atomici, in particolare GetOrAdd e AddOrUpdate. Il delegato dell'utente che viene passato a questi metodi viene richiamato all'esterno del blocco interno del dizionario. In questo modo si impedisce al codice sconosciuto di bloccare tutti i thread. È possibile pertanto che si verifichi la sequenza di eventi seguente:
1) threadA chiama GetOrAdd, non trova alcun elemento e crea un nuovo elemento in Add richiamando il delegato valueFactory.
2) threadB chiama GetOrAdd contemporaneamente, viene richiamato il delegato valueFactory e arriva nel blocco interno prima di threadA, pertanto la nuova coppia chiave-valore viene aggiunta al dizionario.
3) il delegato dell'utente di threadA viene completato e il thread arriva nel blocco, ma ora rileva che l'elemento esiste già.
4) threadA esegue una richiesta "Get" e restituisce i dati aggiunti precedentemente da threadB.
Non è pertanto garantito che i dati restituiti da GetOrAdd siano gli stessi dati creati dal delegato valueFactory del thread. Una sequenza di eventi simile può verificarsi quando viene chiamato AddOrUpdate.
