IsSet | Gets whether the event is set. |
|
SpinCount | Gets the number of spin waits that will be occur before falling back to a kernel-based wait operation. |
|
WaitHandle | Gets the underlying WaitHandle object for this ManualResetEventSlim. |

Methods
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
|
Dispose()()() | Releases all resources used by the current instance of the ManualResetEventSlim class. |
.gif "Protected method") |
Dispose(Boolean) | Releases the unmanaged resources used by the ManualResetEventSlim, and optionally releases the managed resources. |
|
Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
|
Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
|
GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) |
|
GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
|
MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
|
Reset | Sets the state of the event to nonsignaled, which causes threads to block. |
|
Set | Sets the state of the event to signaled, which allows one or more threads waiting on the event to proceed. |
|
ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
|
Wait()()() | Blocks the current thread until the current ManualResetEventSlim is set. |
|
Wait(CancellationToken) | Blocks the current thread until the current ManualResetEventSlim receives a signal, while observing a CancellationToken. |
|
Wait(Int32) | Blocks the current thread until the current ManualResetEventSlim is set, using a 32-bit signed integer to measure the time interval. |
|
Wait(TimeSpan) | Blocks the current thread until the current ManualResetEventSlim is set, using a TimeSpan to measure the time interval. |
|
Wait(Int32, CancellationToken) | Blocks the current thread until the current ManualResetEventSlim is set, using a 32-bit signed integer to measure the time interval, while observing a CancellationToken. |
|
Wait(TimeSpan, CancellationToken) | Blocks the current thread until the current ManualResetEventSlim is set, using a TimeSpan to measure the time interval, while observing a CancellationToken. |

Thread Safety
All public and protected members of ManualResetEventSlim are thread-safe and may be used concurrently from multiple threads, with the exception of Dispose, which must only be used when all other operations on the ManualResetEventSlim have completed, and Reset, which should only be used when no other threads are accessing the event.
