SortedList.SyncRoot Property

Definition

Gets an object that can be used to synchronize access to a SortedList object.

C#
public virtual object SyncRoot { get; }

Property Value

An object that can be used to synchronize access to the SortedList object.

Implements

Examples

The following code example shows how to lock the collection using the SyncRoot property during the entire enumeration.

C#
SortedList myCollection = new SortedList();
lock (myCollection.SyncRoot)
{
    foreach (object item in myCollection)
    {
        // Insert your code here.
    }
}

Retrieving the value of this property is an O(1) operation.

Remarks

To create a synchronized version of the SortedList object, use the Synchronized method. However, derived classes can provide their own synchronized version of the SortedList using the SyncRoot property. The synchronizing code must perform operations on the SyncRoot of the SortedList, not directly on the SortedList. This ensures proper operation of collections that are derived from other objects. Specifically, it maintains proper synchronization with other threads that might be simultaneously modifying the SortedList object.

Enumerating through a collection is intrinsically not a thread-safe procedure. Even when a collection is synchronized, other threads can still modify the collection, which causes the enumerator to throw an exception. To guarantee thread safety during enumeration, you can either lock the collection during the entire enumeration or catch the exceptions resulting from changes made by other threads.
