Question
Is there an incrementing AutoResetEvent, or something similar in c# libraries?
How would one go about rolling an efficient implementation of one, or alternatively, address the problem stated without doing so?
Problem: To clarify my need, I have a producer / consumer situation, where I have an unknown number of producers, and a fixed number of consumers.
Edit:Forgot to mention one issue, I cannot use .NET 4.0 so I cannot use ConcurrentQueue<T>
:'( , I need to stick with .NET 2.0 for now.
Solution
Check out if Semaphore would work for your scenario.
OTHER TIPS
Have you seen .NET 4's ConcurrentQueue<T>
? It takes care of all of that for you.
Since you can't use .NET 4, you can use AutoResetEvent
in the System.Threading
namespace.
