lock和Monitor依靠一种“令牌”对象来实现进程的同步，下面看一段示范代码：
class Example
{
int count = 0;
object o = new object();//令牌对象
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Example e=new Example();
Thread pthread = new Thread(e.produce);
Thread cthread = new Thread(e.consume);
pthread.Start();
cthread.Start();
}
public void produce()
{
while (true)
{
lock (o)
{
count = count + 1;
}
}
}
public void consume()
{
while (true)
{
lock (o)
{
count = count - 1;
}
}
}
}
在程序中，我们需要产生两个生产和消费的线程，但是两个线程对count的访问必须是互斥的，也就是要实现两个现场的同步。在上面的代码中，首先实例化一个令牌对象o,当需要操作互斥变量count的时候，我就用lock关键字去取令牌，如果此时令牌可以拿到，就执行对count的操作，然后释放令牌。如果此时令牌在另外一个线程手里，就等待知道该令牌被释放。Monitor的使用与lock很相似，下面附上使用代码，不再另加说明:
Monitor.Enter(o);
count=count+1;
Monitor.Exit(o);
Mutex是使用互斥的机制来实现进程的同步，Mutex不需要使用额外的令牌对象。下面是用Mutex来解决著名的生产者消费者问题，设定消费者和生产者各3个，公共区容量为5，生产100个，下面看代码：
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
ProduceAndConsume pac=new ProduceAndConsume();
Thread pthread1 = new Thread(pac.produce);
Thread pthread2 = new Thread(pac.produce);
Thread pthread3 = new Thread(pac.produce);
Thread cthread1 = new Thread(pac.consume);
Thread cthread2 = new Thread(pac.consume);
Thread cthread3 = new Thread(pac.consume);
pthread1.Start();
pthread2.Start();
pthread3.Start();
cthread1.Start();
cthread2.Start();
cthread3.Start();
}
}
class ProduceAndConsume
{
private int count = 0;
private int pID=0;
private int cID = 0;
private object mutexobjext = new object();
private Mutex IDmux = new Mutex();//该互斥量是对产品序号的互斥
private Mutex Countmux = new Mutex();//该互斥量是对公共区产品数量的互斥
public void produce()
{
while (true)
{
IDmux.WaitOne();//申请产品序号互斥，不行则等待
if (pID >= 100)
{
//达到一百个，释放互斥，线程结束
IDmux.ReleaseMutex();
break;
}
Countmux.WaitOne();//申请公共区数量互斥
if (count >= 5)
{
//公共区满，生产线程释放互斥后睡眠
Countmux.ReleaseMutex();
IDmux.ReleaseMutex();
Thread.Sleep(2);
continue;
}
else
{
//公共区数量加一，并打印生产产品的序号信息，完成后释放互斥
count = count + 1;
Countmux.ReleaseMutex();
pID = pID + 1;
Console.WriteLine("Has produced {0}..", pID);
IDmux.ReleaseMutex();
Thread.Sleep(1);
}
}
}
public void consume()
{
//类似于produce(),不同是消费过程
while (true)
{
IDmux.WaitOne();
if(cID>=100)
{
IDmux.ReleaseMutex();
break;
}
Countmux.WaitOne();
if (count <= 0)
{
Countmux.ReleaseMutex();
IDmux.ReleaseMutex();
Thread.Sleep(2);
continue;
}
else
{
count = count - 1;
Countmux.ReleaseMutex();
cID = cID + 1;
Console.WriteLine("Has Consume {0}", cID);
IDmux.ReleaseMutex();
Thread.Sleep(1);
}
}
}
}
下面是执行结果，可以看到进程已经很好的同步了 ：

Has produced 2..
Has produced 3..
Has produced 4..
Has produced 5..
Has Consume 1
Has produced 6..
