how to make SqlRoleProvider .ApplicationNam e thread safe

Hi

I'm currently working on a new portal for an online university, and we need
write code that manages roles for multiple applications. To tell the
SqlRoleProvider which Application we are currently managing I am using the
SqlRoleProvider .ApplicationNam e Property which is not thread safe. My
question is how do I make this property thread safe? Here's a sample of the
code.

....

Roles.Provider. ApplicationName = "Chemistry1 01";
Roles.AddUsersT oRoles("Bob, Peter", "Student");
Roles.CreateRol e("TeacherAssis tant");
Roles.Provider. ApplicationName = "Chemistry2 39";
Roles.AddUsersT oRoles("Josh, Sam", "Teacher");
Roles.AddUsersT oRoles("Frank, Hui", "Student");
Roles.DeleteRol e("LabMonitor") ;

....

Also could anyone tell me if the following class would make the
ApplicationName Property thread safe?

public class EconcordiaRoleP rovider : SqlRoleProvider
{
private static Object mutex = new Object();

public EconcordiaRoleP rovider() : base()
{

}

public override string ApplicationName
{
get
{
lock(Econcordia RoleProvider.mu tex)
{
return base.Applicatio nName;
}
}
set
{
lock (EconcordiaRole Provider.mutex)
{
base.Applicatio nName = value;
}
}
}
}

Thank you for the time you have given this post, and I hope to hear from you
in the near future. If you have any advice or suggestions, please don't
hesitate to reply to this post.

Cheers
Francis

Two things:
1.) Looks like you're going to be doing a lot more reads than writes,
use a readerwriterloc k
2.) You should be using an instance variable to lock in your case (
lock(this)), not a static variable since you're synchronizing a
non-static resource.

Why do you need it to be thread safe? Do you realize the merely having
muliple web users using it doesn't violate thread consistency? The only
reason you would need it to be thread safe is if you are launching
background threads within your pages, which frankly is a difficult thing to
track and manage anyways, and generally shouldn't be done unless you really
know what you are doing.

Greetings everyone, Here is a random string generator I wrote for an application and I'm wondering about the thread-safety of this function. I was told using static and global variables cause potential problems for thread-safety. So far, I'm only confused. I need a proper explanation for the concept so I can understand how to write thread-safe functions in the future. My apologies for posting a long routine.

The method does not execute which leads me to believe that BELights is not thread-safe. (Or is it the user control that is not thread safe?) When an event fires for...
