Understanding Thread Safety in /n software Components

.NET and Java Editions

The .NET and Java editions of /n software components are thread safe, and component methods can be called from separate threads. However, the component does not guarantee cross-thread synchronization, and if a method is called while the component is busy, an error may occur.

Additionally, calling component methods from within a component event handler under certain conditions can lead to a deadlock. In these cases, it is recommended to schedule the work inside the event handler and perform it after the event returns.

C++ Edition and Other Editions

All other editions are not thread safe. Components should be used only on the thread in which they were instantiated.
