Yes, that code is stupid. Since the
AutoResetEventisnewin this line, nothing else has a reference to the sameAutoResetEvent, so nothing is going to signal it. ASleepwould be simpler.When used correctly, use of an
AutoResetEventallows you to wait for something else to “open the gate” (assuming it wasn’t already open), or timeout. Note also that the gate closes automatically each timeWaitOneis successful.However, this code does not use it correctly, and does not allow for this.
