Why have I not seen any implementations of IDisposable implementing concurrency?

Question

When I look through sample implementations of IDisposable, I have not found any that are threadsafe. Why is IDisposable not implemented for thread safety? (Instead callers have a responsibility to make sure only a single thread calls Dispose()).

Answer 1

You should not dispose of an object until you have finished with it. If there are other threads referencing the object and there is a chance they might want to call its methods, you should not be disposing of it.

Therefore it is not neccessary for Dispose to be thread safe.
