# Good article about ReaderWriterLock and Multi Threading

By Roy Osherove April 24, 2004 In [.Net Quotations](https://osherove.com/blog/category/net-quotations), [Cool Articles](https://osherove.com/blog/category/cool-articles)

**Historical article** · Originally published April 24, 2004; technical details may be outdated.

MultiThreading in .Net is an important issue. [Sebastien writes a good article about multithreading](http://blog.thetechnologist.net/Trackback,guid,a1dd3efd-8715-4653-a16a-10c125046174.aspx) using C# examples, mainly talking about the benefits of the **ReaderWriterLock** object and using the “**Dispose**” pattern. Some stuff I didn't know in there (but that's nothing new - I seems as though anywhere I look there's a bit of knowledge that I had no idea about. The blogsphere is an amazing fountain of knowledge.)
