FileStream.Lock , FileStream.Unlo ck and its sync.

I've got multiple threads and processes that write to same
file. Before writing all threads / processes first lock
part of file and then write to file. If one thread /
process locks file, another threads / processes can not
lock this file again. And I want that all threads /
processes wait until first thread frees lock by calling
FileStream.Unlo ck. But I do not know what code should I
use that all threads / processes wait until first thread /
process unlock file.
My code :

FileStream FS = new FileStream
("\\Logs\\Criti calError.log",F ileMode.Append, FileAccess.Wri
te,FileShare.Re adWrite);
BinaryWriter BW = new BinaryWriter(FS );

try {FS.Lock(0,10); }
catch (IOException E) { // This exception is thrown if
file is already locked
// Here I want that my thread waits until file is unlocked
and then I can lock file successfully.
}

....

FS.Unlock(0,10) ;
FS.Close();

What sync function should I use that my thread should
waited until file is unlocked ?

Can you give me short sample.

Thank you very much.

I want that my thread sleeps until file is unlocked, but if I wait for signaled state of FileStream handle, it does not work and ARE.WaitOne() function returns immediately, even if file is locked by another process. I have following code : .... FileStream FS = new FileStream

I am trying to create a stream that writes text to a file and: - automatically creates a new file once the current file exceeds a certain size - makes it possible to be used by multiple threads and/or processes so that multiple threads/processes can write to the same file (all threads use the same instance of the stream, processes use a different instance but still may point to the same file) Could you point me in the correct...

Are there any issues I should be worried about when using C# 2.0 iterators in conjunction with lock, i.e. public IEnumerator GetEnumerator() { lock (lockObject) { foreach (object obj in collection) { yield return obj;

Hi I have some code from a friend and I don't understand why they have used the application lock feature! I understand this produces a random quote, but can some one explain to me what happens with the application lock and why it's in use (see lines 19 - 21)? public class QuoteClass : UserControl { public HtmlGenericControl divQuote; void Page_Load(Object source, EventArgs e) { divQuote.InnerHtml = RandomQuote();

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
