MOTOBIT.COM - ASP upload, IIS utility Lock Method of Dictionary class

dic.Lock
'some code working with dictionary
dic.Unlock

You have to be sure that both Lock/Unlock methods are called. If you did not call Unlock method - usually for runtime error in 'some code' - this construction will hang in singlethread/multithreaded/multiprocess environment.
So you can use HoldLock parameter to hold the lock only some time and unlock the dictionary after the specified time, even the method Unlock was not called.
