ThreadStatic in asynchronous ASP.NET Web API

2019-06-26 04:15发布

问题:

Is there a possibility to use thread static like variables within a single request? The current code uses a thread static variable for logging purposes and now we want to use async controller methods (with async and await pattern) which results in problems because the variable is null when a new thread is opened.

回答1:

await can cause thread jumps, so thread static variables will naturally cause problems.

To work around this, you can either use AsyncLocal<T> (available in .NET 4.6), or (if you must) HttpContext.Current.Items. Of those two, I would definitely recommend AsyncLocal<T> over Items, if it's available on your platform.
