EventWaitHandle Constructor (initialState, mode, name, createdNew)

Initializes a newly created EventWaitHandle object, specifying whether the wait handle is initially signaled, whether it resets automatically or manually, the name of a system synchronization event, and a bool variable whose value after the call indicates whether the named system event was created.

Declaration Syntax

C#	Visual Basic

public EventWaitHandle(
	bool initialState,
	EventResetMode mode,
	string name,
	out bool createdNew
)

Public Sub New ( _
	initialState As Boolean, _
	mode As EventResetMode, _
	name As String, _
	<OutAttribute> ByRef createdNew As Boolean _
)

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): The name of a system-wide synchronization event.

createdNew ( Boolean %): When this method returns, contains true if the calling thread was granted initial ownership of the named system event; otherwise, false. This parameter is passed uninitialized.

Remarks

If name is a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) or an empty string, a local EventWaitHandle is created. If a system event with the name specified for the name parameter already exists, the initialState parameter is ignored.
