How can I port synchronized functions from Visual J++ to C#?

Here is a Visual J++ source code example of a synchronized method:

public synchronized void Run() 
{
   // method body
}

The following is a port of the Visual J++ synchronized method to C# source code:

class Test
{
   public void Run()
   {
      lock (this)
      {
         // method body 
      }
   }
 
   public static void Main() {}
 
}

Be aware that there are many subtleties and pitfalls associated with the lock keyword.
