Does VB.NET have the equivalent of C#'s lock statement?
229
The Lock statement is used in threading, that limit the number of threads that can perform some activity or execute a portion of code at a time. Exclusive locking in threading ensures that one thread does not enter a critical section while another thread is in the critical section of the code.
The SyncLock statement ensures that multiple threads do not execute the statement block at the same time. SyncLock prevents each thread from entering the block until no other thread is executing it. The most common use of SyncLock is to protect data from being updated by more than one thread simultaneously.
Avoid using 'lock keyword' on string object String object: Avoid using lock statements on string objects, because the interned strings are essentially global in nature and may be blocked by other threads without your knowledge, which can cause a deadlock.
C# Lock keyword ensures that one thread is executing a piece of code at one time. The lock keyword ensures that one thread does not enter a critical section of code while another thread is in that critical section. Lock is a keyword shortcut for acquiring a lock for the piece of code for only one thread.
Yes, the SyncLock statement.
For example:
// C#
lock (someLock)
{
list.Add(someItem);
}
// VB
SyncLock someLock
list.Add(someItem)
End SyncLock
It is called SyncLock example:
Sub IncrementWebCount()
SyncLock objMyLock
intWebHits += 1
Console.WriteLine(intWebHits)
End SyncLock
End Sub
