    Confused about the usage of Critical Section ..

    I am using a thread in my application .. A DLL is written for In and Out instructions for hardware ICS and to read FIFO.

    My code is

    CCriticalSection crdll , crsec ;

    UINT ThreadReceiveData(LPVOID param)
    {

    for ( ; ; ) {

    if (bTerminate) break; // bTerminate = 1 in Doc template destructor

    crdll.Lock();

    do {

    read data ;

    if ( data is not valid) break;

    crdll.Lock();

    if (data of type 1) process data;

    crdll.Unlock();


    crsec.Lock();

    if (data of type 2) process data;

    crsec.Unlock();


    } while valid data

    crdll.UnLock();

    }

    return 1;

    }


    I am confused , how and when I should use Ctitical Section ? The program works fine but I am
    not happy as this is main routine of the program and I have not understood it properly.


    PL GUIDE ..
