Thread Safety .Net C#

Just for the sake of my own edification...I'd appreciate your thoughts.

is the following thread-safe?

public class MyClass
{
	private static readonly int _intValue = 123;
	private static readonly string _stringValue = "one two three";
 
	static MyClass() // Empty static constructor
	{
	}
 
	public MyClass()
	{
                     // instance init
	}
 
	public int IntValue
	{
		get { return _intValue; }
	}
 
	public string StringValue
	{
		get { return _stringValue; }
	}
}

There is only one thraed in your code. there will not be a cross-thread nor deadlock nor race condition.
unsafe Thread might be when there is more than one thread.

Saed, the question is what if I created a multi-threaded application that created instances of the above class would access to the private static members, via the public properties, be safe?

Thank you all for contributing, very helpful!

(It would seem strings are not quite as immutable as I was led to believe!)

you're welcome, glad we could be of some help :)

they are indeed not immutable, nor is a private/internal/protected field/method/property really private/internal/protected...
