Re: SyncLock (Lock)

As you know, you can use any object as long as you always use the same
object. You last question is interesting. A lot of times your code and
contained collections change, rename, etc. At least for me, sometimes it is
just easier to define "private readonly object syncRoot = new object()"
upfront and know it will always be your syncRoot regardless of changes to
collections. Also, sometime you may have finer grain locking going on. So
you may be locking on a collection for a different reason. However, there
is nothing wrong with locking on your list object if that is the only lock
you need and your never replace your list object with another latter in your
program. What every it is - make it readonly!
