Reset semaphore

Question

What is the best way to reset a semaphore that has threads waiting on it. Right now all I can think of is just a while loop and freeing up the semaphore until the semaphore is completely eliminated. I'm not sure what is the best.

semaphore.Close();
semaphore = new Semaphore(0,1);

or

while(true)
{
   try
   {
      semaphore.Release();
   }
   catch
   {
      break;
   }
}
semaphore = new Semaphore(0,1);

Answer 1

If you want to do this, are you sure you want to start with Semaphore? Perhaps it might be more appropriate ManualResetEvent?
