How to get Synchronize access to the ListDictionary in C#?


To get synchronize access to the ListDictionary, the code is as follows −

Example

 Live Demo

using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Specialized;
public class Demo {
   public static void Main() {
      ListDictionary dict = new ListDictionary();
      dict.Add("1", "SUV");
      dict.Add("2", "Sedan");
      dict.Add("3", "Utility Vehicle");
      dict.Add("4", "Compact Car");
      dict.Add("5", "SUV");
      dict.Add("6", "Sedan");
      dict.Add("7", "Utility Vehicle");
      dict.Add("8", "Compact Car");
      dict.Add("9", "Crossover");
      dict.Add("10", "Electric Car");
      Console.WriteLine("ListDictionary elements...");
      foreach(DictionaryEntry d in dict) {
         Console.WriteLine(d.Key + " " + d.Value);
      }
      Console.WriteLine("
Is the ListDictionary having fixed size? = "+dict.IsFixedSize);       Console.WriteLine("If ListDictionary read-only? = "+dict.IsReadOnly);       Console.WriteLine("Is ListDictionary synchronized = "+dict.IsSynchronized);       Console.WriteLine("The ListDictionary has the key K? = "+dict.Contains("K"));       Console.WriteLine("The ListDictionary has the key 9? = "+dict.Contains("9"));       Console.WriteLine("
Synchronize access...");       lock(dict.SyncRoot) {          foreach(DictionaryEntry d in dict) {             Console.WriteLine(d.Key + " " + d.Value);          }       }    } }

Output

This will produce the following output −

ListDictionary elements...
1 SUV
2 Sedan
3 Utility Vehicle
4 Compact Car
5 SUV
6 Sedan
7 Utility Vehicle
8 Compact Car
9 Crossover
10 Electric Car
Is the ListDictionary having fixed size? = False
If ListDictionary read-only? = False
Is ListDictionary synchronized = False
The ListDictionary has the key K? = False
The ListDictionary has the key 9? = True

Synchronize access...
1 SUV
2 Sedan
3 Utility Vehicle
4 Compact Car
5 SUV
6 Sedan
7 Utility Vehicle
8 Compact Car
9 Crossover
10 Electric Car

Example

Let us see another example −

 Live Demo

using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Specialized;
public class Demo {
   public static void Main() {
      ListDictionary dict = new ListDictionary();
      dict.Add("A", "Books");
      dict.Add("B", "Electronics");
      dict.Add("C", "Appliances");
      dict.Add("D", "Pet Supplies");
      dict.Add("E", "Clothing");
      dict.Add("F", "Footwear");
      Console.WriteLine("Synchronize access...");
      lock(dict.SyncRoot) {
         foreach(DictionaryEntry d in dict) {
            Console.WriteLine(d.Key + " " + d.Value);
         }
      }
   }
}

Output

This will produce the following output −

Synchronize access...
A Books
B Electronics
C Appliances
D Pet Supplies
E Clothing
F Footwear
