Critical Section in a Webservice?

Hi!

I've been migrating some legacy ISAPI appliations to .NET Webservice. In
one, I call a third party routine which is not thread safe. In the ISAPI
world, I put a critical section around the call to avoid problems.

Is there a comparable strategy in Webservices?

TIA

Harry

You could use a Critical Section in .NET as well (see
System.Threading.Monitor)

We talked about this before here:

Note that a lock (monitor) is local to the appdomain (of which there
can be several within a process - you might even have multiple
processes too), so you should consider whether you need to use a mutex
to synchronise access for the whole box.
