Value

A object that can be used to synchronize access to the current instance. [Edit]

Remarks

This property is read-only.

A thread is required to perform synchronized operations only on the Hashtable.SyncRoot of a Hashtable, not directly on the table itself. This maintains proper synchronization with any other threads concurrently modifying the table.

Note: This property is implemented to support the ICollection interface.

Operation

As described above.

This method returns a reference to the current instance.

Note to Inheritors

Override this property to return an object on which to lock when implementing a collection that wraps another collection (using a subset of it, for example). This is useful when providing synchronized access through two or more wrapper collections to the same underlying collection. Typically, this property returns a reference to the current instance.

Usage

Use this property to obtain a object that can be used to synchronize access to the current instance.
