What happens if you break out of a Lock() statement?
- by cyclotis04
I'm writing a program which listens to an incoming TcpClient and handles data when it arrives. The Listen() method is run on a separate thread within the component, so it needs to be threadsafe. If I break out of a do while loop while I'm within a lock() statement, will the lock be released? If not, how do I accomplish this?
Thanks!
(Any other advice on the subject of Asynchronous TCP Sockets is welcome as well.)
private void Listen()
{
do
{
lock (_client)
{
if (!_client.Connected) break;
lock (_stateLock)
{
if (!_listening) break;
if (_client.GetStream().DataAvailable) HandleData();
}
}
Thread.Sleep(0);
} while (true);
}
