C# Mutex/Lock Multithreading/tasks

[@TheSilent333]

This was very helpful! Just used mutex for the first time today and was so pleased at how simple they made it. But I didn't realize the best practice of the try finally block, so thank you!

[@aramyako8289]

You are more than welcome :)

[@adamkimberley2575]

These videos are great. Thanks! It'd be great if you could make one explaining the difference between lock vs. Mutex vs. Semaphore (etc.). Thanks again!

[@jjobrien9]

so all function calls in a task.lambda body will get his own thread right?

[@aramyako8289]

Theoretically, they all use the same thread, but in the thread, they use tasks. Which in itself is a complex setup. However, to simplify the explanation, yes! Each task work like a separate thread.

Nice explanation, make a video on SemaphoreSlim too

[@vasilecuzmin5153]

Greetings! Can I do the same using lock?

[@aramyako8289]

Hello! Yes: please see this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2mqoGaZYselmck

@@aramyako8289 it might be a good idea to have a video where you present the differences between Monitor and Mutex - with some examples.

I need to lock outlook using mutex. Can you please help me?

[@hrishikeshgarud7177]

Can we use Mutex in async method? where we have to use await keyword?

[@aramyako8289]

Yes! Its the same behaviour as long as you have all the await aligned correctly

[@super-panda]

does anyone understand why it prints 'Mutex has not been released in 4 sec' exactly 6 times at first?

All tasks are starting at almost same time. Task 1 is able to pass lock. Task 2-3-4-5-6-7 wait for 4 secs but lock isn't released. They can't pass lock. Then probably lock is released for task 8th. Then Task 9-10 can't make it again.
