AutoResetEvent Constructor

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Initializes a new instance of the AutoResetEvent class with a Boolean value that indicates whether to set the initial state to signaled.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Sub New ( _
    initialState As Boolean _
)
public AutoResetEvent(
    bool initialState
)

Parameters

  • initialState
    Type: System.Boolean
    true to set the initial state to signaled; false to set the initial state to non-signaled.

Remarks

Specifying true for initialState creates an AutoResetEvent in the signaled state. This is useful if you want the first thread that waits for the AutoResetEvent to be released immediately, without blocking.

Examples

The following example shows the use of this constructor to create an AutoResetEvent that is initially in the non-signaled state. The example uses an AutoResetEvent to synchronize the activities of two threads. The first thread executes MyWriteThreadProc. It writes values to the protected resource, which is a static (Shared in Visual Basic) field named number. The second thread executes the static MyReadThreadProc method, which reads the values written by MyWriteThreadProc.

The MyReadThreadProc method waits for the AutoResetEvent. When MyWriteThreadProc calls the Set method on the AutoResetEvent, the MyReadThreadProc method reads one value. The AutoResetEvent immediately resets, so the MyReadThreadProc method waits again.

The program logic guarantees that the MyReadThreadProc method will never read the same value two times. It does not guarantee that the MyReadThreadProc method will read every value written by MyWriteThreadProc. That guarantee would require a second AutoResetEvent lock.

After each write operation, MyWriteThreadProc yields by calling the Thread.Sleep method, to give the second thread a chance to execute. Otherwise, on a single-processor computer MyWriteThreadProc would write many values between any two read operations.

The Demo method starts the two thread procedures. The threads write their output to a StringBuilder object, which is protected from concurrent access by lock statements (SyncLock statements in Visual Basic). The MyWriteThreadProc method appends the final output to the TextBlock control by using the Dispatcher property to obtain a Dispatcher object for the TextBlock, and then using the Dispatcher.BeginInvoke method to make the cross-thread call to the UI thread.
