To guarantee the thread safety of the Heap, all operations must be done through this wrapper.
Enumerating through a collection is intrinsically not a thread-safe procedure. Even
when a collection is synchronized, other threads could still modify the collection,
which causes the enumerator to throw an exception. To guarantee thread safety during
enumeration, you can either lock the collection during the entire enumeration or
catch the exceptions resulting from changes made by other threads.
The following code example shows how to lock the collection using the SyncRoot during
the entire enumeration:
<code>
Heap myCollection = new Heap();
lock( myCollection.SyncRoot )
{
foreach ( Object item in myCollection )
{
// Insert your code here.
}
}
</code>
