Volatile equivalent for non primitive objects c#

Question

I think i'm missing something big here.

What i'm trying to do:

I have an object, which is known to multiple threads, which may read or manipulate it. Now i want the object accesses to block, when one thread calls obj.setProperty(T type) i want every other thread to have to wait until the property is set. How to i do this? I know that there is volatile for primitive types, but how does this translate to non primitive types.

Answer 1

Use the lock statement in the property getter and setter.

Also, you don't understand what volatile does . Volatile is to prevent blocking, not to cause blocking.
