Definition

public int WaitingWriteCount { get; }

Property Value

Examples

The following example shows how to use the WaitingWriteCount property to generate an event log entry if the number of threads that are blocked, waiting to enter write mode, exceeds a threshold.

using (ReaderWriterLockSlim rwLock = new ReaderWriterLockSlim()) {
int waitingWriteCt = rwLock.WaitingWriteCount;
if (waitingWriteCt > WRITE_THRESHOLD)
{
    performanceLog.WriteEntry(String.Format(
        "{0} blocked writer threads; exceeds recommended maximum.", 
        waitingWriteCt));
}

Remarks

Use this property only for debugging, profiling, and logging purposes, and not to control the behavior of an algorithm. The results can change as soon as they have been calculated. Therefore, it is not safe to make decisions based on this property.
