Thread Synchronization in C#

Amit Maheshwari

Hi friends,

I want to know that how do we implement thread synchronization such as object.Wait, Notify,and CriticalSection in C#? If anyone knows then please give an explanation about it?

Start by looking at the documentation and reading articles. There are many articles in this web site to help you. The System.Threading Namespace in the MSDN is one place to look to determine what is available.

The AutoResetEvent, ManualResetEvent and related classes provide events.

I do not know what a Notify is that is for synchronization. There is nothing in the Windows API for synchronization called notify. There are notification messages but they provide no advantage compared to other messages.

The C# lock statement "marks a statement block as a critical section". I think there are other ways to to use a critical section in C# and I am confident you will find them. The Monitor class is for reference types.
