class property locking

[Davide Villa via .NET 247]

May I have anyone help?
I have a class with a property which could be accessed by different threads.

Can I put a lock block or a mutex in a get/set property to allow only a thread at time access?
The code I'm thinking sounds like this:

public class Dispatcher(){

private int p_State;

public State {

set{
int l_State;
lock(this){
l_State=p_State;
}
return l_State;
}
get{
lock(this){
p_State=value;
}
}

}

}

Thnx in advice to anyone helps me!

Yes, just like any other method.

But I don't recommend locking on the this reference. See
