The documentation of ReaderWriterLockSlim.EnterUpgradeableReadLock says:
A thread in upgradeable mode can downgrade to read mode or upgrade to write mode.
How do I downgrade the lock to a read lock? The documentation does’t tell…
[Edit:] I’m not trying to get the write lock. I just want to downgrade the upgradeable lock to a read lock so that another thread can acquire the upgradeable lock.
According to the MSDN documentation for ReaderWriterLockSlim (the class itself):
‘A thread in upgradeable mode can downgrade to read mode by first calling the EnterReadLock method and then calling the ExitUpgradeableReadLock method.’
