What are some examples of using Monitor in C#?

Can you explain how to use Monitor in C#?

Sure! Monitor is used for thread synchronization in C#. It allows you to control access to a shared resource.

Can you give me a code example of using Monitor?

Absolutely! Here's a simple example:

class Program {
    private static readonly object lockObject = new object();

    static void Main() {
        Monitor.Enter(lockObject);
        try {
            // Critical section code here
        }
        finally {
            Monitor.Exit(lockObject);
        }
    }
}

What happens if I forget to call Monitor.Exit?

If you forget to call Monitor.Exit, it can lead to deadlocks, as other threads will be unable to access the locked resource.

Are there any alternatives to Monitor for synchronization?

Yes, alternatives include using lock, Mutex, or Semaphore, depending on your specific needs.
