QuestionThread communication & Other RTOS concepts Pin

I'm coming from an embedded background using the Nucleus RTOS, and programming in C++. The system I worked on made very heavy use of constructs such as Semaphores, Mutexes, Pipes, Queues, and timers. I'm transitioning to a new project that will be using C# and .NET [I am currently unsure of what version it will be using; if it will be using the full blown .NET or the compact framework, however].

I'm trying to learn analogies for these constructs. I see that there are Mutexes, of course, but do the mutexes have timeouts available? i.e. you want to grab some resource, and if you can't grab it in X amount of time, fail, check an error condition {throw an event here instead?} and do something with that error. When we wanted to communicate between threads, we would use Pipes - we could read a pipe and suspend on it indefinitely to wait for data; or suspend on it with a timeout. What is analagous?

Also - I think I could benefit on a book that delves into these types of concepts. Most of the C#, .NET books I"ve looked at tend to go very lightly on the chapters to do with async communication. Most tend to talk about locking critical sections, but don't seem to talk about it further - a few have said these are advanced topics and are the scope of other types of books. Guess what, I need one? Smile | :)

Thanks all.

PS: Wasn't sure if I should post this in the C# forum or the .NET forum... Took a stab at the C# forum. Apologies if it's the wrong place.
