With .net 4.0 several new classes have been added relating to threading: ManualResetEventSlim, SemaphoreSlim and ReaderWriterLockSlim.
What is the difference between the Slim versions and the older classes, and when should I use one over the other?
ReaderWriterLockSlimis a better version ofReaderWriterLockthat is faster and doesn’t suffer from writer starvationManualResetEventSlimandSemaphoreSlimare fully managed versions of aManualResetEventandSemaphorethat spin-wait for a while before falling back to kernel objects, and so are faster than the old versions when wait times are short.
