TextWriter synchronized method

[fniles]

If I use TextWriter synchronized method like below codes if another thread
is trying to write at the same time, what will happen ? Will it the 2nd
thread request to write to the file be queued ? Will the 2nd thread then
stop processing other codes while waiting to write to this file ?

Thank you.

Dim swLogOrig As StreamWriter
Dim swLog As TextWriter

swLogOrig = New StreamWriter(m_sLogFileName, True)
swLog = TextWriter.Synchronized(swLogOrig)

I believe it will block until the first thread releases the write.


Synchronized methods implement a simple synclock mechanism if I'm not
mistaken.

so if you use the sychronized, you don't have to lock?
will it automatically queue the next calls for that specific textwriter?
