The current sequence number.

Examples

The following code example shows how to use the WriterSeqNum property and the AnyWritersSince method to determine whether another thread acquired the writer lock on the protected resource since the current thread last held the writer lock.

This code is part of a larger example provided for the ReaderWriterLock class.

// The complete code is located in the ReaderWriterLock
// class topic.
using namespace System;
using namespace System::Threading;
public ref class Test
{
public:

   // Declaring the ReaderWriterLock at the class level
   // makes it visible to all threads.
   static ReaderWriterLock^ rwl = gcnew ReaderWriterLock;

   // For this example, the shared resource protected by the
   // ReaderWriterLock is just an integer.
   static int resource = 0;
// The complete code is located in the ReaderWriterLock class topic.
using System;
using System.Threading;

public class Example
{
   static ReaderWriterLock rwl = new ReaderWriterLock();
   // Define the shared resource protected by the ReaderWriterLock.
   static int resource = 0;
' The complete code is located in the ReaderWriterLock class topic.
Imports System.Threading

Public Module Example
   Private rwl As New ReaderWriterLock()
   ' Define the shared resource protected by the ReaderWriterLock.
   Private resource As Integer = 0
// Shows how to release all locks and later restore
// the lock state. Shows how to use sequence numbers
// to determine whether another thread has obtained
// a writer lock since this thread last accessed the
// resource.

   int lastWriter;

         // It is safe for this thread to read from
         // the shared resource. Cache the value. (You
         // might do this if reading the resource is
         // an expensive operation.)

         Display( String::Format( "reads resource value {0}", resourceValue ) );

         // lock can be restored later.

Remarks

The sequence number increases whenever a thread acquires the writer lock. You can save the sequence number and pass it to AnyWritersSince at a later time, if you want to determine whether other threads have acquired the writer lock in the meantime.

You can use WriterSeqNum to improve application performance. For example, a thread might cache the information it obtains while holding a reader lock. After releasing and later reacquiring the lock, the thread can determine whether other threads have written to the resource by calling AnyWritersSince; if not, the cached information can be used. This technique is useful when reading the information protected by the lock is expensive; for example, running a database query.

The caller must be holding a reader lock or a writer lock in order for the sequence number to be useful.
