ASP Lock and Unlock Methods
❮ Complete Application Object Reference
Lock Method
The Lock method prevents other users from modifying the variables in the Application object (used to ensure that only one client at a time can modify the Application variables).
Unlock Method
The Unlock method enables other users to modify the variables stored in the Application object (after it has been locked using the Lock method).
Syntax
Application.Lock
Application.Unlock
Example
The example below uses the Lock method to prevent more than one user from accessing the variable visits at a time, and the Unlock method to unlock the locked object so that the next client can increment the variable visits:
<%
Application.Lock
Application("visits")=Application("visits")+1
Application.Unlock
%>
This page has been visited
<%=Application("visits")%> times!
