AutoResetEvent

You use the AutoResetEvent class to make a thread wait until some event puts it in the signaled state by calling AutoResetEvent.Set. Unlike the ManualResetEvent, the AutoResetEvent is automatically reset to nonsignaled by the system after a single waiting thread has been released. If no threads are waiting, the event object's state remains signaled. The AutoResetEvent corresponds to a Win32 CreateEvent call, specifying false for the bManualReset argument.

For an example that uses the AutoResetEvent, see Monitor.
