how to check if Mutex is Released

[dbasnett]

try it, then you will know:

        Dim lock As New Object
        Dim i As Integer = 0
1:      SyncLock lock
            i += 1
            If i < 10 Then GoTo 1
        End SyncLock
        Debug.WriteLine("made it")

I am not advocating the use of GoTo BTW.
