Parameters

obj

The object on which to wait. [Edit]

timeout

A TimeSpan set to the maximum amount of time to wait before this method returns. [Edit]

Returns

true if the lock was reacquired before the specified time elapsed; otherwise, false. [Edit]

Exceptions

Type	Reason
ArgumentNullException	obj is null. [Edit]
System.Threading.SynchronizationLockException	The calling thread does not own the lock for the specified object. [Edit]
ArgumentOutOfRangeException	If timeout is negative, and is not equal to Timeout.Infinite , or is greater than int.MaxValue. [Edit]

Remarks

If successful, this method reacquires an exclusive lock on obj.

This method behaves identically to Monitor.Wait(object, int, bool) (obj), except that it does not block indefinitely unless Timeout.Infinite milliseconds is specified for timeout . Once the specified time has elapsed, this method returns a value that indicates whether the lock has been reacquired by the caller. If timeout equals 0, this method returns immediately.

Note: This method is called when the caller is waiting for a change in the state of the object, which occurs as a result of another thread's operations on the object. For additional details, see Monitor.Wait(object, int, bool) (obj ).
