InterprocessReaderWriterLockTryEnterReadLock Method

public bool TryEnterReadLock(
	int millisecondsTimeout
)

Public Function TryEnterReadLock ( 
	millisecondsTimeout As Integer
) As Boolean

public:
bool TryEnterReadLock(
	int millisecondsTimeout
)

function TryEnterReadLock(millisecondsTimeout);

Parameters

millisecondsTimeout  Int32

The number of milliseconds to wait, or -1 (Infinite) to wait indefinitely.

Return Value

Upon successful acquisition of a read lock, use the finally block of a try/finally statement to call ExitReadLock. One ExitReadLock should be called for each EnterReadLock or TryEnterReadLock(Int32).

Note that this function may wait as long as 2 * millisecondsTimeout since the function first waits for synchronous access to the semaphore, then waits again on an available semaphore slot.
