So the question is when should I use EnterReadLock() and EnterWriteLock() when accessing the Dictionary?
- TryGetValue. I think a ReadLock should be ok here.
- Updating the Dictionary using the Indexer e.g. _dic[existingKey] = NewValue. I think a ReadLock should be OK here.
- Add a new item using the Indexer e.g. _dic[newKey] = NewValue. I think I need a WriteLock here.
Thanks in advance!
