It's read only, so you shouldn't have to.

Keith,
I think it really depends on how the Count Property it implemented. If the
queue has a underlying backing field for the count that the Count Property
returns, then I would say yes. However if the queue physically counts the
items, then I would say no.

However as Brian stated, I don't think you should have to.

Hope this helps
Jay

According to the help files ALL OPERATIONS on a Queue should be synchronized.

Jim,
I hope you realize my statement was for properties in general and not the
Queue property specifically!

Thank you for pointing that out!
