Remarks

Call Dispose when you are finished using the ReaderWriterLockSlim. The Dispose method leaves the ReaderWriterLockSlim in an unusable state. After calling Dispose, you must release all references to the ReaderWriterLockSlim so the garbage collector can reclaim the memory that the ReaderWriterLockSlim was occupying. For more information, see Cleaning Up Unmanaged Resources and Implementing a Dispose Method.

Note

Always call Dispose before you release your last reference to the ReaderWriterLockSlim object.
