SyncLock is the VB equivalent to C#'s "lock".

By the way, if that C# code was an actual property, then the "lock" is serving no purpose since the lock block has no code.

Usually you would do something like this in C#:
lock (foo)
{
//code regarding 'foo'
}

In your case you have just "lock (_root);", i.e., the empty statement ";" is the only target of the lock. Your code just locks "_root" and then releases the lock.
