Returns

A reference to the allocated System.Threading.WaitHandle. [Edit]

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.
