Hello,

can anyone tell me what the .Net equivalent of CRITICAL_SECTION is, c.q. how
I can get EnterCriticalSection etc to work without __gc conversion errors ?

TIA,

Michiel.

Use System.Threading.Mutex.

The correcter equivalent is Monitor.Enter/Exit

or in C# the "lock" keyword, which results in:

<code>
object obj1;
Monitor.Enter(obj1 = lockObject);
try
{
 // do some snychronized stuff
}
finally
{
 Monitor.Exit(obj1);
}
</code>

 Do you need a memory-leak finder ?

 Do you need daily reports from your server ?

by the way: The difference is performance!

Mutex can be used across processes (CriticalSections not, neither Monitor).
