There are various synchronization primitives available in C#/.NET, events are directly available as ManualResetEvent or AutoResetEvent, or, more generally, they are wrapped in EventWaitHandle.

Yes it is called EventWaitHandle. To create a named auto reset event which can be opened by other processes you can use this:

bool bCreated;
var ev = new EventWaitHandle(true, EventResetMode.AutoReset, @"Global\myGlobalEvent", out bCreated);

If you want a simple Manual/AutoResetEvent you can use the classes AutoResetEvent and ManualResetEvent respectively. WaitHandle exposes the full feature set such as creating a named event.
