Volatile modifier is use to reduce concurrency issues of executing threads. Volatile apply for reference type, pointer type , enum type with an integral base type and integral type such as sbyte, sort, usort, int, unit, char, float, and bool. Volatile modifier does not force synchronization of load and store, it means volatile does not work as a lock statement. Volatile modifier provides a way for you to restrict the optimizations the compiler makes regarding loads and stores into the field. You will typically use volatile in multithreaded programs and with flag variables. A read and write to a volatile field is always done after all other memory accesses, which precede in the instruction sequence.
Example
using System;
using System.Threading;
namespace volatile_statement_in_c_sharp
{
public class A //Create class
{
string show; //create state variable, which type of string
public volatile bool flage; //create volatile field
public void set_volatile() //create function
{
show = "Dot net Heven"; //set value of string
flage = true;
Thread.Sleep(300); //sleep thread 300 milliseconds
check_volatile(); //call check volatile() function
}
