Monitors : Monitor is one of gated synchronization mechanism which consist of two methods which guarantees thread safe behavior.
1.Monitor.Enter : Threads that enter critical section informs other threads that it had acquired the resource/CS and no more threads can take ownership on the same and other threads requiring the resource/CS must wait.
2.Monitor.Exit :The thread which had acquired resource/CS releases the ownership on thread.
In C#,Monitors equivalent code is lock.
lock(object)
{
//CS
}
//It is equivalent to Monitor.Enter and Monitor.Exit.
try
{
Monitor.Enter(object)
{
//CS
}
}
Finally()
{
Monitor.Exit(object)
}
