When I use this the update statement waits until the lock is released and then perform an update. I don't want this behavior. As soon a record is blocked, the user must see a message. Doing it this way, I can't notify the user because the update statement waits until the lock is released. I want the update statement to stop and give somehow an error/exception/warning so I can notify the user.

@Martijn - Your second update statement needs to be executed with the NOWAIT hint, which will cause it to return as soon as a lock is encountered rather than wait for the timeout.

Shouldn't the statement read SELECT id From mytable WITH (ROWLOCK, UPDLOCK) WHERE id = 1?
