Thread Safe Dictionary Using ReaderWriterLockSlim(devplanet.com)

submitted by Justice(100) 3 years, 6 months ago

The dictionary uses ReaderWriterLockSlim locks. These are clean, lightweight locks that MS has provided. Most importantly, they allow upgradeable read locks. I now use simple IDisposable locking wrappers. This allows us to use the "using" syntax to ensure lock releases. read more...
