C# Lock and Async Method

Question

I am not clear (and can\'t find documentation clear enough): when using the lock keyword in an async method: will the thread be blocked if the object is already blocked or will

Answer 1

No it won't.

lock is syntactic sugar for Monitor.Enter and Monitor.Exit. lock will keep execution in the method until the lock is released. It does not function like await in any way, shape or form.
