Synchronization at the Right Level

  • Article

I get a lot of questions about why the new generic collection interfaces (IList<T> for example) do not support synchronization. There are several reasons for it. One, probably the main, is that in practice synchronizing on the level of a single data structure is rarely useful. Rico explains this in a series of posts on locking. In particular see the post on putting your synchronization at the correct level.
