WaitHandle.WaitOne Method (Int32, Boolean)

  • Article

When overridden in a derived class, this method blocks the current thread until the current WaitHandle object (wait handle) receives a signal, using a 32-bit signed integer to specify the time interval and indicating whether to exit the synchronization domain before the wait.

Namespace: System.Threading
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Syntax

[MethodImplAttribute]
public virtual bool WaitOne (
         intmillisecondsTimeout,
         boolexitContext
)

Parameters

  • millisecondsTimeout
    The number of milliseconds you want the system to wait, or Timeout.Infinite (-1) if you want it to wait indefinitely.
  • exitContext
    A parameter you should set to true to exit the synchronization domain for the context before the wait (in a synchronized context) and then reacquire it; otherwise, set this parameter to false.

Return Value

true if the current wait handle receives a signal; otherwise, false.
