    <p>I am using a Threading.Timer to run the message pump in my application.</p> <p>Sometimes the work in required takes longer than the intervals between the timer's intervals, and I need the code to then be 'skipped'.</p> <p>I wrote a little test app to test, and keep running into a SynchronizationLockException on my locking:</p> <pre><code>static void Main(string[] args) {Program t = new Program(); System.Threading.Timer myTimer = new Timer(t.Tick,null,1000,1000); Thread.Sleep(10000); myTimer.Change(0,0); Console.WriteLine("Waiting on lock in main thread..."); Monitor.Enter(t.myLock); Console.WriteLine("Done"); Monitor.Exit(t.myLock); } public readonly Object myLock = new Object(); public void Tick(object state) { Console.WriteLine("Acquiring lock! From thread " + Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId); Monitor.TryEnter(myLock); try { Thread.Sleep(6000); Console.WriteLine("Inside workload!From thread " + Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId); } finally { Console.WriteLine("Releasing lock!From thread " + Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId); Monitor.Exit(myLock); } } </code></pre> <p>I can't recall the link now, but I have found a suggested solution to my initial requirement by disabling and enabling the timer at the start and end of the Callback function, but since the documentation states that after the timer has been stopped it can still be called since it could already have been scheduled on the .NET ThreadPool.</p> <p>Am I missing something obvious here or does Monitor not work as it is supposed to? I am on .NET 3.5, so </p> <blockquote> <p>Monitor.TryEnter(myLock,hasLock)</p> </blockquote> <p>is unfortunately not yet an option.</p>

    1. COI implemented something similar to this a while ago, your on the right track with `Monitor.TryEnter`/`Monitor.Lock` if you want to *skip* processing. See my [question](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1698393/using-lock-with-threading-timer).

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
