Newbie Question

[Blue Streak]

Is there an equivalent in ASP.NET for the Application.Lock and Application.Unlock commands?

Yes, HttpApplicationState.Lock Method

Application.Lock()
Application("MyCode") = 21
Application("MyCount") = Convert.ToInt32(Application("MyCount")) + 1
Application.UnLock()

Is there an equivalent in ASP.NET for the Application.Lock and
Application.Unlock commands?

You want to look into the Monitor.Enter and Monitor.Exit methods. If you're
doing C#, then also check out the lock keyword.

Hi Blue Streak,

Yes, as has been posted by others. However, as you're a "newbie" I thought
you might not be awarae of the Application Cache, which is recommended over
the ApplicationState, because it is thread-safe. The Cache also has the
ability to automatically expire objects stored in it. And because it is
thread-safe, it needs no locking.
