.NET SyncLock order deadlock

Question

If I have two Synclocks

synclock a
  synclock b
  end synclock
end synclock

am I in danger of a deadlock if I never have

synclock b
  synclock a
  end synclock
end synclock

in my code, but I do synclock on a or b randomly?

Answer 1

As long as you always lock a before b then you'll be okay.
