# NDC.Inherit Method

Inherits the contextual information from another thread.

[Visual Basic]
Public Shared Sub Inherit( _
ByVal stack As Stack _
)
[C#]
public static void Inherit(
Stack stack
);

#### Parameters

stack
  The context stack to inherit.

#### Remarks

> Note

> The NDC is deprecated and has been replaced by the Stacks. The current NDC implementation forwards to the `ThreadContext.Stacks["NDC"]`.

This thread will use the context information from the stack supplied. This can be used to initialize child threads with the same contextual information as their parent threads. These contexts will NOT be shared. Any further contexts that are pushed onto the stack will not be visible to the other. Call CloneStack to obtain a stack to pass to this method.
