Hi
I would like to know if EventWaitHandle blocks other events to happen?

My problem occurs when I call in main thread eventWaitHandle.WaitOne(), this statement blocks main thread and also events that are important for my second Thread. My second thread is for communicating with controller and is always in while loop to get information from controller. I call eventWaitHandle.Set() somewhere in this loop.

Wich method should i use?

THANK YOU

Solution 1

eventWaitHandle.WaitOne() will block the calling thread until the event is signalled. If you set other events on the same thread they will not get signalled due to your thread still being in WaitOne().

use System.Threading.EventWaitHandle.WaitAll to wait on multiple events on the same thread
