Releases a lock acquired with GetLock and starts background calculation if appropriate.

[Visual Basic]
Overridable Sub ReleaseLock()

[C#]
virtual void ReleaseLock();

[C++]
virtual void ReleaseLock();

[C++/CLI]
virtual void ReleaseLock();

Remarks

This method is thread safe.

Calls to GetLock may be nested. ReleaseLock must be called once for each call to GetLock.

Interruptible background calculation will be started if the following conditions are all met:

The last lock acquired by the current thread is being released.
There are no other threads waiting to acquire a lock on this workbook set.
BackgroundCalculation is set to true.
Calculation is not set to Calculation.Manual.

Example

[C#] Demonstrate using a workbook set in a thread safe manner.

void DoSomeThreadSafeWork(IWorkbookSet workbookSet) 
        { 
            // Interrupt background calculation if necessary and acquire an 
            // exclusive lock on the workbook set. 
            workbookSet.GetLock(); 
  
            try { 
                // Do some work... 
            } 
            finally { 
                // Release the lock on the workbook set and start background 
                // calculation if appropriate. 
                workbookSet.ReleaseLock(); 
            } 
        }

[Visual Basic]
