quesion about instances

Question

Hi all

I have a stupid beginners question ... :-))

I have a class with a function as shown below.
I am wondering what exactly is happening with
the instance "local_DataTable" ?
The instance is created locally within the function.
When calling "return local_DataTable", is there a
copy of this instance created or is a pointer of
it given back ?

The reason for this question is some trouble
with this function on a Multithreadet environment.
I have seen this function giving back wrong
table and so on ...

Would be nice to get back some feedback.

Best regards
Frank Uray


public System.Data.DataTable GetDataTable(string Query)
{
   System.Data.DataTable local_DataTable = new System.Data.DataTable();

   // fill the DataTable using a DataAdapter from SQL Server

   return local_DataTable;
}
