VariableDispenser.LockForRead Method
Adds the variable to the list of variables to be locked for read-only access.
Namespace: Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime
Assembly: Microsoft.SqlServer.ManagedDTS (in Microsoft.SqlServer.ManagedDTS.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public Sub LockForRead ( _
variable As String _
)
'Usage
Dim instance As VariableDispenser
Dim variable As String
instance.LockForRead(variable)
public void LockForRead(
string variable
)
public:
void LockForRead(
String^ variable
)
member LockForRead :
variable:string -> unit
public function LockForRead(
variable : String
)
Parameters
- variable
Type: System.String
The name of the variable to add to the list to be locked for read-only access.
Remarks
This method, on its first call, creates a list and adds the given variable to the list. On subsequent calls, variables are added to the existing list. This method does not actually lock the variable. When you are done creating a list of the variables you want, call GetVariables to lock the variables that are found in this list. Any number of calls to LockForRead and LockForWrite can be made before GetVariables is called.
Note
Multiple clients may simultaneously acquire a read-only lock on a variable.
To clear a successful lock when you are finished, call Unlock.
Examples
The following code example creates a VariableDispenser and adds two system variables to the list that is locked for reading, and one system variable to the list that is locked for writing. Then the GetVariables is called to lock all three variables in the collection, and the lists are freed and made available for new variables.
