Can running object be garbage collected?
- by Kugel
I have a simple class:
public class Runner
{
public void RunAndForget(RunDelegate method)
{
ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(new WaitCallback(Run), method);
}
private void Run(object o)
{
((RunDelegate )o).Invoke();
}
}
And if I use this like so:
private void RunSomethingASync()
{
Runner runner = new Runner();
runner.FireAndForget(new RunDelegate(Something));
}
Is there any danger using it like this? My C++ guts tell me that runner object should be destroyed after RunSomethingASync is finished. Am I right? What happens then to the method running on different thread?
Or perhaps it is other way around and runner will not be collected? That would be a problem considering I may call RunSomethingASync() many times.
