@Francis Application Lock was used in IIS 6.0 application to Lock the values/variable stored in Application object. This is not applied anymore. See Details here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms525184(v=vs.90).aspx

Your question is not clear. Assume that, you want to protect the "application" variable, which is accessed by many threads. In that case, you can use the below code:

Application.Lock()
// Your operations are goes here
Application .UnLock()

Hope this helps!

Assuming you are asking process means thread in an application. You can use locking mechanism like below:

static readonly object synchronizationLockingKey = new object();

then in your code where you want to implement for Read/Write access use it as:

lock(synchronizationLockingKey)
{
// This block will only be accessed by single thread at a time.
}

But beware of the fact that if not used carefully the locking section can create situation like Deadlock if applied on long running tasks.
