member this.IsReaderLockHeld : bool

Public ReadOnly Property IsReaderLockHeld As Boolean

Property Value

Boolean

true if the current thread holds a reader lock; otherwise, false.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use IsReaderLockHeld to avoid deadlocks.

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Threading;
int main()
{
   ReaderWriterLock^ rwLock = gcnew ReaderWriterLock;
   rwLock->AcquireWriterLock( Timeout::Infinite );
   rwLock->AcquireReaderLock( Timeout::Infinite );
   if ( rwLock->IsReaderLockHeld )
   {
      Console::WriteLine( "Reader lock held." );
      rwLock->ReleaseReaderLock();
   }
   else
   if ( rwLock->IsWriterLockHeld )
   {
      Console::WriteLine( "Writer lock held." );
      rwLock->ReleaseWriterLock();
   }
   else
   {
      Console::WriteLine( "No locks held." );
   }


   if ( rwLock->IsReaderLockHeld )
   {
      Console::WriteLine( "Reader lock held." );
      rwLock->ReleaseReaderLock();
   }
   else
   if ( rwLock->IsWriterLockHeld )
   {
      Console::WriteLine( "Writer lock held." );
      rwLock->ReleaseWriterLock();
   }
   else
   {
      Console::WriteLine( "No locks held." );
   }
}

using System;
using System.Threading;

class LockHeld
{
    static void Main()
    {
        ReaderWriterLock rwLock = new ReaderWriterLock();

        rwLock.AcquireWriterLock(Timeout.Infinite);
        rwLock.AcquireReaderLock(Timeout.Infinite);

        if(rwLock.IsReaderLockHeld)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Reader lock held.");
            rwLock.ReleaseReaderLock();
        }
        else if(rwLock.IsWriterLockHeld)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Writer lock held.");
            rwLock.ReleaseWriterLock();
        }
        else
        {
            Console.WriteLine("No locks held.");
        }

        if(rwLock.IsReaderLockHeld)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Reader lock held.");

        {
            Console.WriteLine("Writer lock held.");
            rwLock.ReleaseWriterLock();
        }
        else
        {
            Console.WriteLine("No locks held.");
        }
    }
}

        If rwLock.IsReaderLockHeld Then
            Console.WriteLine("Reader lock held.")
            rwLock.ReleaseReaderLock()

            rwLock.ReleaseReaderLock()
        Else If rwLock.IsWriterLockHeld Then
