sealed class

This class presents a WaitHandle with two states: signaled and nonsignaled. If nonsignaled, waiting threads block; otherwise they continue executing. It is constructed with an initial signal value and can be Set( ) to signaled or Reset( ) to nonsignaled. When signaled, the AutoResetEvent automatically resets to nonsignaled once a single blocking thread has been released. Calling Set( ) with no blocking threads causes it to remain signaled until another thread waits on it.
