Multithreading newbie question

[Daniel]

Hi,
I've developed multithreading applications with Java in the past and
want to know if VB.Net or C# has this ability? In Java, the "synchronized"
keyword was used to ensure that only one thread can execute the function at
a time, is there an equivalent in .NET?

Thanks,
Dan

You can use the lock (C#) or SyncLock (VB) to syncronize any given object in
your code:

private object someObj = new object;
private void f1()
{
lock(someObj)
{
//do your stuff here
}
}

Hi, you can lock an object using the SyncLock keyword:

....
SyncLock MyObject

Hi,

SyncLock and Monitor provide this ability.
