Question

I have a web service that freezes deadlocks on the lock command.

lock(typeof(MyServiceType))

I feel that this is caused by application pool resets.

Is there any way that app pool resets could cause the lock to become a forever lock?

Answer 1

I can’t exactly comment on what is happening with regards to application pool resets, but perhaps you should try locking on a new object, instead?

  private readonly object myLock = new object();

  void DoSomething()
  {
    lock(myLock)
    {
      ...
    }
  }
