Name

WaitHandle

Synopsis

This class encapsulates much of the logic for dealing with synchronization handles, which allow much more fine-grained synchronization control than simple thread locking. Once you have references to one or more WaitHandle subclasses, use the static WaitOne( ) or WaitAny( ) methods to obtain a lock on any single handle or all of the handles, respectively. The WaitOne( ) instance method acquires the lock for a specific WaitHandle. If a thread blocks and cannot obtain the necessary locks, it enters the ThreadState.WaitSleepJoin state until the locks can be obtained.
