A data integrity in distributed .NET applications

If we develop a .NET distributed application by .NET Remoting we have to often solve a race condition problem. For example, trying to access a server-side object on more than one client at once in this application is inherently dangerous. Locking enables us to obtain exclusive access to a server-side object that is used by another client. It is built into Microsoft Visual Basic 2008 through the SyncLock statement or the System. Threading. Monitor .NET class. This paper shortly describes the locking techniques. In a conclusion it demonstrates the use of locking in the sample distributed .NET application with a threaded client and shows complete listings with commentaries of all source files of this application.
