Question

Name some of the most common places to look for a Deadlock in C#.

Answer 1

For recognizing deadlocks, one should look for threads that get stuck on one of the following:

• .Result, .GetAwaiter().GetResult(), WaitAll(), and WaitAny() (When working with Tasks)
• Dispatcher.Invoke() (When working in WPF)
• Join() (When working with Threads)
• lock statements (In all cases)
• WaitOne() methods (When working with AutoResetEvent/EventWaitHandle/Mutex/Semaphore)
