C# Program to Demonstrate Monitor Lock with Lock Statement

This C# Program Illustrates the Use of Monitor Lock with Lock Statement. Here A monitor is a mechanism for ensuring that only one thread at a time may be running a certain piece of code . A monitor has a lock, and only one thread at a time may acquire it.

Here is source code of the C# Program to Illustrate the Use of Monitor Lock with Lock Statement. The C# program is successfully compiled and executed with Microsoft Visual Studio. The program output is also shown below.

                Thread thread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(ThreadMain));

                thread.Name = String.Concat("Thread - ", i);

```

        }
```
```
    }
```
```
}

Here is the output of the C# Program:

Thread 1 - USING LOCKS
Thread 1 - releasing LOCKS
Thread 0 - USING LOCKS
Thread 0 - releasing LOCKS
Thread 2 - USING LOCKS
Thread 2 - Releasing LOCKS
