EventWaitHandle can be used across processes. And auto and manual reset events only within a single process. Can you please confirm?

Documentation says that Auto/Manual are local and they don’t take name parameter. So I think they are only for within a process. By the way, can they go across appdomain?

EventWaitHandle is the only named event or there any other mechanisms i can use. Basically I need to use event, but it should cross process.

    Auto and Manual are the simplified version of EventWaitHandle that are synchronized within process. EventWaitHandle can be used as named object that will provide inter process synchronization.
