Allocates a System.Threading.WaitHandle object.
[System.Obsolete("CreateWaitHandle is due for removal. Use "new ManualResetEvent(false)" instead.")]
protected virtual System.Threading.WaitHandle CreateWaitHandle ()
protected virtual System.Threading.WaitHandle CreateWaitHandle ()
Returns
A reference to the allocated System.Threading.WaitHandle.
Remarks
When called for the first time this method creates a System.Threading.WaitHandle object and returns it. On subsequent calls, the Stream.CreateWaitHandle method returns a reference to the same wait handle.
Note: Stream.CreateWaitHandle is useful if you implement the asynchronous methods and require a way of blocking in Stream.EndRead(IAsyncResult) or Stream.EndWrite(IAsyncResult) until the asynchronous operation is complete.
