This is a c# Latch implementation for multithreaded applications (equivalent to java CountDownLatch). It’s used in a situation when you have a one thread waiting for a number of other threads to finish. The Test below also uses a Semaphore to run only a specific number of child threads at one time. public class Latch { private readonly object locker = new object (); private int count; public Latch( int noThreads) { lock (locker) { count = noThreads; } } public void Await() { lock (locker) { while (count > 0) { Monitor.Wait(locker); } } } public void CountDown() { lock (locker) { if (--count <= 0) { Monitor.PulseAll(locker); } } } public int GetCount() { lock (locker) { return count;
