multi threaded gate lock OR
Using the Monitor class, is there a way to create a lock with n input values, which creates a lock for each value? First thought was to create the locks in a loop and map the objects to a key. This will potentionally lead to desdlocks so its not an option.

what does
create a lock with n input values mean ? Iterate over some items and lets say for each 10 items you want to process some action in thread safe way (with use of lock) ?You might want to describe your exact scenario, but if you want a lock that lets n threads through (to throttle too many things happening at once for instance) you want a semaphore.
I realize I was quite vague, I’ll witte up a method to explain it a bit more in detail later.
Made an implementation with the SemaphoreSlim class. Worked wonders together with an ephemeron to keep track of the ones currently in need.
@mtreit Thanks a lot for the suggestion!
