title: Is there any difference between an AutoResetEvent and a Semaphore with maximumCount = 1?
body: <p>I'm going through the following article:</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://www.albahari.com/threading" rel="noreferrer">http://www.albahari.com/threading</a></p>
  
  <p>and I cannot get to realize the difference between an AutoResetEvent and a Semaphore initialized with maximumCount = 1. Just to see if I'm getting things right... is there any difference in these two constructs, given that usage?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
