I understand you when you say... lock object should really be private ...but in a development, you should know what you are doing.
So, thats why it is not really necessary, i think [Smile]

nasty horrible programmers who don't like you might write a program that reflects on your assembly, and takes a lock on your public lock object

Public lock objects are bad practice

Well in that case you have no chance. If someone uses reflection then there is no way to protect it.
With Reflection someone can do everything, unimportant whether the lockObject is private or public. [Wink]
