SafeDictionary<TKey, TValue>.UseWeakReferences Property

If true, the weak references are used for the items so the memory can be cleared upon request. The property can be set only when the dictionary is empty. To ensure thread-safety, you have to perform the check for emptiness and property assignment in a critical section (use SyncRoot for that purpose).
