Is it necessary to do a synclock when checking the message count of a
shared queue object?
 
Keith,
I think it really depends on how the Count Property it implemented. If the
queue has a underlying backing field for the count that the Count Property
returns, then I would say yes. However if the queue physically counts the
items, then I would say no.

However as Brian stated, I don't think you should have to.

Hope this helps
Jay
 
Jim,
I hope you realize my statement was for properties in general and not the
Queue property specifically!

Thank you for pointing that out!

Jay

According to the help files ALL OPERATIONS on a Queue should be synchronized.
