I like the shortcut in C# of lock(myLock){ /* do stuff */}
. Is there an equivalent for read/write locks? (Specifically ReaderWriterLockSlim.) Right now, I use the following custom method, which I think works, but is kind of annoying because I have to pass in my action as an anonymous function, and I would prefer to use a standard locking mechanism if possible.
void bool DoWithWriteLock(ReaderWriterLockSlim RWLock, int TimeOut, Action Fn)
{
bool holdingLock = false;
try
{
if (RWLock.TryEnterWriteLock(TimeOut))
{
holdingLock = true;
Fn();
}
}
finally
{
if (holdingLock)
{
RWLock.ExitWriteLock();
}
}
return holdingLock;
}
