C# equivalent to java's wait and notify?
The equivalent functionality (including the normal locking) is in the Monitor class.
foo.notify() => Monitor.Pulse(foo)
foo.notifyAll() => Monitor.PulseAll(foo)
foo.wait() => Monitor.Wait(foo)
The lock statement in C# is equivalent to calling Monitor.Enter and Monitor.Exit with an appropriate try/finally block.
See my threading tutorial or Joe Albahari's one for more details.
I think Wait Handles may work for you. See if this helps.
