Name
AutoResetEvent
Synopsis
This class presents a WaitHandle with two states:
signaled and nonsignaled. If nonsignaled, waiting threads block;
otherwise they continue executing. It is constructed with an initial
signal value and can be Set( ) to signaled or
Reset( ) to nonsignaled. When signaled, the
AutoResetEvent automatically resets to nonsignaled
once a single blocking thread has been released. Calling
Set( ) with no blocking threads causes it to
remain signaled until another thread waits on it.
