Re: lock used in thread and by event

No, this is the issue: first thread is using a method X that uses

Second thread is fireing an event that executes first threads method

There's no such thing as "first thread's method" though.

So is this situation same like e.g. one and only thread is calling
lock(X) two times and it does not block?

I don't know - I'd have to see the code.

To clearify again ;) is Event call from one thread to another threads
method that uses lock(X) {...} like Java's ReentrantLock?

An event call doesn't change threads (unless you explicitly call
Invoke or something like that). But to reiterate, there's no such
thing as "another thread's method". Methods don't belong to threads.

And yes, locks are re-entrant.
