Well I think it's raining ReaderWriterLocks this month! Jeff Richter has an article on MSDN that goes over a lot of the basics and some stuff that's a lot more than basic. And then there's Vance Morrison's March article on the subject as well. Lots of Read More...

Well the trouble with simple samples like the one I provided in part 1 is that well... they're too simple. Some of the improvements that you can make in them won't work generally. But nonetheless I think there's some interesting discussion possibilities. Read More...

Oh boy, more locking problems for the weekend! Here's a more complicated lock that often gets used when it shouldn't and is avoided when it should be used. Like the other articles in this series I'll provide a bit of code and ask for comments, it's more Read More...

Of course when I say "solution", I really mean "my solution" because there's not really just one way to do this. But this is an approach I like and I'll go over why I like it. Recall the code from the original problem : (there was some very interesting Read More...

Continuing in what's turned into my series on locking advice, I have a new example for you of a typical problem that happens in class design. As usual I've simplified this almost to the point of being silly to illustrate the problem. Hopefully the crux Read More...

Well I didn't mean to but it seems I'm writing a series of articles on locking. Based on my last posting I got several requests for a simple example of a case that could be improved with simpler locking. Here's something of that ilk that's similar to Read More...

A few days ago I posted a concurrency problem for commentary and I got a very nice set of responses. Now I can't say that there is any answer to this problem that I would say is universally correct but there are some interesting observations that we can/should Read More...

I've had a bit of a locking/threading theme in some of my recent postings so I thought I'd continue that with a little problem. Here's a (simplified) set of operations that is sort of an example of what you might need to do in a free threaded class. Let's Read More...

I sometimes see funny locking patterns because there is a mental assumption that the lock keyword (via Monitor features of the runtime) automatically guards the contents of the locked region. This isn't the case. All that is guaranteed is that only one Read More...
