Lock to Try/Finally

• Apr 17, 2018

Converts a lock() (SyncLock in VB) statement into a try/finally statement.

Availability

Available from the context menu or via shortcuts:

• when the edit cursor, or caret is on a lock statement (“lock” keyword).

Note

This refactoring is available in C# only.

Example

C#

private void TestMethod()
{
    Object objVar = new Object();│lock (objVar)
    {
        UseObjVar(objVar);
    }
}

VB.NET

Private Sub TestMethod()
  Dim objVar as Object = new Object()│SyncLock objVar
    UseObjVar(objVar);
  End SyncLock
End Sub

Result:

C#

private void TestMethod()
{
    Object objVar = new Object();│System.Threading.Monitor.Enter(objVar);
    try
    {
        UseObjVar(objVar);
    }
    finally
    {
        System.Threading.Monitor.Exit(objVar);
    }
}

VB.NET

Private Sub TestMethod()
  Dim objVar as Object = new Object()│System.Threading.Monitor.Enter(objVar)
  Try
    UseObjVar(objVar)
  Finally
    System.Threading.Monitor.Exit(objVar)
  End Try
End Sub
