sealed class

A Mutex is an implementation of a WaitHandle . ReleaseMutex( ) releases a lock on a WaitHandle . A thread that owns a Mutex lock can call any of the Wait( ) methods (defined in the parent class, WaitHandle ) without blocking, but must then release the Mutex the same number of times as the Mutex was obtained.

 public sealed class  Mutex  : WaitHandle {  // Public Constructors  public  Mutex  ( );    public  Mutex  (bool   initiallyOwned   );    public  Mutex  (bool   initiallyOwned   , string   name   );    public  Mutex  (bool   initiallyOwned   , string   name   , out bool   createdNew   );  // Public Instance Methods  public void  ReleaseMutex  ( ); }
