exitContext of Monitor.wait

3 New Member
The documentation on MSDN for the overloaded Monitor.wait(ob ject,timespan, bool) is:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. public static bool Wait(
  2.     Object obj,
  3.     TimeSpan timeout,
  4.     bool exitContext
  5. )
Releases the lock on an object and blocks the current thread until it reacquires the lock. If the specified time-out interval elapses, the thread enters the ready queue. Optionally exits the synchronization domain for the synchronized context before the wait and reacquires the domain afterward.

I'm not sure if I missed anything. But my deduction is:

If exitContext is false, which means not to exit the synchronization domain -> the thread which calls wait will still hold the lock for the domain -> other thread will not be able to access objects in the domain -> other thread can not access the object and lock it in order to call pulse -> the original wait method will always be time out.

This is just too dumb...There must be something wrong about it. What happends behind the scene when you release the lock on an object in a domain and at the same time "not exit the domain"? Isn't there just one lock for all objects in the domain?

Thanks for help in advance!

I guess maybe the object is not in the same synchronization domain as the current instance where this method is invoked on?

Hi, I'm calling Monitor.Wait() from a console event handler. It's not working -- the call to Wait() immediately causes the process to exit. Is it impossible for some reason to call Wait() from an event handler? Small code example attached. Thanks,

Hi, Below is a hacked up version of an example I found on MSDN. My only change was to add a third thread and some Sleeps. That's where my question(s) comes in. In the original it seems to work because Thread1 waits on Thread2 and vice versa, although I can't quite see how. Disabling Thread3 and leaving the sleep in works fine, processing is...

Dear Members, I have a problem in the concepts of Monit.Enter and Monitor.Exit (Before everything I should say that I know how to solve this problem by using Monitor.Wait and I do not need a solution. But this question sticks to my head as a conceptual problem) Suppose there are two threads T1, T2 running concurrently:
