Adds the variable to the list of variables to be locked for read/write access.

public:
 void LockForWrite(System::String ^ variable);

public void LockForWrite (string variable);

member this.LockForWrite : string -> unit

Public Sub LockForWrite (variable As String)

Parameters

variable: String

The name of the variable to add to the list to be locked for read/write access.

Examples

The following code example creates a VariableDispenser and adds two system variables to the list that is locked for reading, and one variable to the list that is locked for writing. Then the GetVariables is called to lock all three variables in the collection, and the lists are freed and made available for new variables.

            Console.WriteLine("Variables are locked? {0}", vars.Locked)  
        End Sub  
    End Class  
End Namespace

Sample Output:

Variables are locked? True

Name MyVariable

Description

Name OfflineMode

Description The offline mode currently set for the package

Name PackageName

Description The package name

Contains is valid? True

Fully qualified name is: System::PackageName

Variables are locked? False

Remarks

This method, on its first call, creates a list and adds the given variable to the list. On subsequent calls, variables are added to the existing list. This method does not lock the variables, it merely creates the list. When you are done creating a list of the variables you want, call GetVariables to lock the variables that are found in this list. Any number of calls to LockForRead and LockForWrite can be made before GetVariables is called.

Note

Only one client may acquire a read/write lock on any given variable at one time. Therefore, if only read permission is needed, it is best to use LockForRead to help avoid conflicts in variable access.

If the lock was successful, clear it by calling Unlock.
