I'm using Monitor.TryEnter(object,int millisecondsTimeout) overload to wait
for a lock for no more than X amount of time. Now I'm getting a strange
behaviour.
>From what I understand from the specification using this overload I would
get the same behaviour as using the lock keyword (C#) but on wait no more
than millisecondsTimeout.
What I'm getting is the lock is ONLY obtained after millisecondsTimeout
elapses EVEN when the lock has been released.
Going to try to make graphic representation of a timeline
x Seconds 120 seconds
(after)
-------+--------+-------+--------+-------+--------+-------+--------+
Thread A TryEnter(obj,120000) LOCK_RELEASED
Thread B TryEnter(obj,120000); Thread B
unblocks
Thread A gets hold of the lock first and Thread B blocks.
Thread B should unblock on x Seconds and only unblocks after 120 seconds.
If I replace TryEnter with lock(obj) thread B unblocks right after thread A
has
Released the lock.
Any thoughts?
TIA
