I am looking for a class that defines a holding structure for an object. The value for this object could be set at a later time than when this container is created. It is useful to pass such a structure in lambdas or in callback functions etc.

Say:

class HoldObject<T> {
 public T Value { get; set; }
 public bool IsValueSet();
 public void WaitUntilHasValue();
}

// and then we could use it like so ...

HoldObject<byte[]> downloadedBytes = new HoldObject<byte[]>();
DownloadBytes("http://www.stackoverflow.com", sender => downloadedBytes.Value = sender.GetBytes());

It is rather easy to define this structure, but I am trying to see if one is available in FCL. I also want this to be an efficient structure that has all needed features like thread safety, efficient waiting etc.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
