detecting object lock?

[Hyun-jik Bae]

Is there any way knowing if an object is locked, for example, "lock(object)
{...}" ?

Please reply. Thanks in advance.

You can use Monitor.TryEnter(theObject) to try to use the object in a
lock. If it returns false, the object is already used in a lock. If it
returns true, you have successfully used it in a lock.

Note: Using an object in a lock doesn't protect the object in any way,
it only stops any other code to use the same object in a lock.
