ReaderWriterLockSlim resourceLock = new ReaderWriterLockSlim(); if (resourceLock.TryEnterWriteLock(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1))) { try { // write to the shared resource } finally { resourceLock.ExitWriteLock(); } } else { // unable to acquire the write lock }In this example, we create a new ReaderWriterLockSlim instance and attempt to acquire a write lock with a timeout of one second. If the lock is acquired, we perform some write operation on the shared resource within a try-finally block to ensure that the lock is released, regardless of whether an exception is thrown. If the lock cannot be acquired within one second, then we handle the failure scenario accordingly. The package library for ReaderWriterLockSlim is part of the .NET Framework, which is included with modern versions of Windows and can be installed on other operating systems through Microsoft's .NET website.
