How to make static methods thread safe
You might want to look into the System.Threading.Mutex class as well.
Instance a mutex in you main class for each member (say, a collection) you
want to make thread safe.
System.Threading.Mutex m1 = new System.Threading.Mutex();
Then in each place where you access this collection, lock it using
m1.WaitOne();
and release it using:
m1.ReleaseMutex();
I believe you get more control over your locks and can optimize your apps
better.

> By setting the lock on a type, you effectively prevent other threads to
run the code inside in the block.
