application object ensure access one process at a time

Question

an application object in order to ensure that only one process accesses a variable at a time?

Assuming you are asking process means thread in an application. You can use locking mechanism like below: static readonly object synchronizationLockingKey = new object(); then in your code where you want to implement for Read/Write access use it as: lock(synchronizationLockingKey) { // This block will only be accessed by single thread at a time. } But beware of the fact that if not used carefully the locking section can create situation like Deadlock if applied on long running tasks.

@Francis Application Lock was used in IIS 6.0 application to Lock the values/variable stored in Application object. This is not applied anymore. See Details here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms525184(v=vs.90).aspx

an application object in order to ensure that only one process accesses a variable at a time? Your question is not clear. Assume that, you want to protect the "application" variable, which is accessed by many threads. In that case, you can use the below code: Application.Lock() // Your operations are goes here Application .UnLock() Hope this helps!
