ReaderWriterLock.AcquireReaderLock method documentation is missing information about possible exceptions

SUMMARY

The documentation about the ReaderWriterLock.AcquireReaderLock method does not discuss the possible exceptions that you may notice when a thread calls the AcquireReaderLock method. For example, you may receive the following exception error message when a thread calls the AcquireReaderLock method:
OutOfMemoryException

MORE INFORMATION

You can use the ReaderWriterLock class to synchronize access to a resource that is shared among multiple threads. The ReaderWriterLock class allows either concurrent read access for multiple threads or write access for a single thread.

The AcquireReaderLock method of the ReaderWriterLock class acquires read access to a resource for a thread that calls the method. However, if the thread that calls the AcquireReaderLock method is terminated while waiting in the method, you receive the "out of memory" error message.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.
