ManualResetEvent(Boolean) Constructor

Definition

Namespace:

System.Threading

Assembly:

System.Threading.dll

Source:

ManualResetEvent.cs

Initializes a new instance of the ManualResetEvent class with a Boolean value indicating whether to set the initial state to signaled.

public:
 ManualResetEvent(bool initialState);

public ManualResetEvent (bool initialState);

new System.Threading.ManualResetEvent : bool -> System.Threading.ManualResetEvent

Public Sub New (initialState As Boolean)

Parameters

initialState

Boolean

true to set the initial state signaled; false to set the initial state to nonsignaled.

Remarks

If the initial state of a ManualResetEvent is signaled (that is, if it is created by passing true for initialState), threads that wait on the ManualResetEvent do not block. If the initial state is nonsignaled, threads block until the Set method is called.
