Declaration Syntax| C# | Visual Basic |
public EventWaitHandle( bool initialState, EventResetMode mode, string name )
Public Sub New ( _ initialState As Boolean, _ mode As EventResetMode, _ name As String _ )
Parameters- initialState (Boolean)
- true to set the initial state to signaled, false to set it to nonsignaled.
- mode (EventResetMode)
- An EventResetMode value that determines whether the event resets automatically or manually.
- name (String)

If a system event with the name specified for the name parameter already exists, the initialState parameter is ignored.
