Hi Guys,
I was wondering which of the following was the suggested pattern when using Mutex (or Semaphores or ReadWriteLockSlims etc.).
Should the initial lock happen inside or outside of the try statement? Is it unimportant?
_mutex.WaitOne()
try
{
// critical code
}
finally
{
_mutex.ReleaseMutex();
}
or
try
{
_mutex.WaitOne()
// critical code
}
finally
{
_mutex.ReleaseMutex();
}
