Determining mutex state

[Nicholas Paldino [.NET/C# MVP]]

Elad,

There are overloads of the WaitOne method which take a parameter for the
timeout. You can just set this to zero. If the mutex is not set, then it
will return immediately, returning false, indicating that it did not receive
the signal.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Is there a way of determining whether a Mutex is signaled or not without
using Mutex.WaitOne() which blocks the thread if the Mutex currently has an
owner?

Thanks.

Lovely. Thanks.
