The CLR allocates a multislot local data store to each process when it starts. These slots are used for thread-specific and context-specific data, and are not shared between threads or contexts. The LocalDataStoreSlot class encapsulates one of these slots. It's used by the GetData( ) and SetData( ) methods in the System.Threading.Thread and System.Runtime.Remoting.Contexts.Context classes.

public sealed class LocalDataStoreSlot {
// Protected Instance Methods
   protected override void Finalize( );   
// overrides object
}
