… between using a lock statement, versus using a Montior.Enter / Monitor.Exit clause? Actually there’s a few, but the main one is that a lock statement is inherently thread safe, where-as a Montior is not. So -

    try {
        Monitor.Enter(_lock);
        DoThreadSafeCode();

    } finally {
        Monitor.Exit(_lock);
    }

is essentially the same as -

    lock (_lock) {
        DoThreadSafeCode();
    }
