title: How would you simply Monitor.TryEnter
body: <p>I'm trying to make things simpler. Here is my code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    If Threading.Monitor.TryEnter(syncRoot) Then
          Try
              'do something
          Finally
              Threading.Monitor.Exit(syncRoot)
          End Try
      Else
          'do something else
      End If
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is even worse than the ReaderWriterLock in terms of noise.
  I can use C# or VB, so answers applying to either will be welcome.</p>
