 ## Remarks
- If `comparand` and the value in `location1` are equal by reference, then `value` is stored in `location1`. Otherwise, no operation is performed. The comparison and the exchange are performed as an atomic operation. The return value of this method is the original value in `location1`, whether or not the exchange takes place.
 
- This method only supports reference types. There are overloads of the <xref:System.Threading.Interlocked.CompareExchange%2A> method for the value types <xref:System.Int32>, <xref:System.Int64>, <xref:System.IntPtr>, <xref:System.Single>, and <xref:System.Double>, but there is no support for other value types.
