Question

I have to organize thread safe removing of items from collection, with using anonymous method. Something like this.

...
lock(this.set)
{
   ...
   this.set.Add(item);

   action(()=>{
      lock(this.set)
      {
         this.set.Remove(item);
      }
   });
}
...

Anonymous method will be executed by the time, probably, from another thread. Is this way of lock operators correct? Is there are some riffs i have to take into account here?

Thanks in advance.

This will work however, have you looked at the ConcurrentCollections in .NET 4? They are internally threadsafe
