LockWriterLockSlim A lock is read until all entries in the queue are complete

I am trying to use a class ReaderWriterLockSlimto manage a list.

There are a lot of readings on this list, and a few letters, my readings are fast, while my notes are slow.

I have a simple test harness written to test the lock.

If the following situation arises

Thread 1 - Start Write
Thread 2 - Start Read
Thread 3 - Start Write

Then the result is as follows

Thread 1 starts its write and locks the list.
Thread 2 adds itself to the read queue.
Thread 3 adds itself to the write queue.
Thread 1 finishes writing and releases the lock
Thread 3 aquires the lock and starts its write
Thread 3 finishes writing and releases the lock
Thread 2 performs its read

Is there a way to change the lock behavior so that all read requests that are queued before a write lock are resolved before write locks are granted?

EDIT: code demonstrating the problem I have is below

public partial class SimpleLock : System.Web.UI.Page
{
    public static ReaderWriterLockSlim threadLock = new ReaderWriterLockSlim();

    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        List<String> outputList = new List<String>();

        Thread thread1 = new Thread(
            delegate(object output)
            {
                ((List<String>)output).Add("Write 1 Enter");
                threadLock.EnterWriteLock();
                ((List<String>)output).Add("Write 1 Begin");
                Thread.Sleep(100);
                ((List<String>)output).Add("Write 1 End");
                threadLock.ExitWriteLock();
                ((List<String>)output).Add("Write 1 Exit");
            }
        );
        thread1.Start(outputList);

        Thread.Sleep(10);

        Thread thread2 = new Thread(
            delegate(object output)
            {
                ((List<String>)output).Add("Read 2 Enter");
                threadLock.EnterReadLock();
                ((List<String>)output).Add("Read 2 Begin");
                Thread.Sleep(100);
                ((List<String>)output).Add("Read 2 End");
                threadLock.ExitReadLock();
                ((List<String>)output).Add("Read 2 Exit");
            }
        );
        thread2.Start(outputList);

        Thread.Sleep(10);

        Thread thread3 = new Thread(
            delegate(object output)
            {
                ((List<String>)output).Add("Write 3 Enter");
                threadLock.EnterWriteLock();
                ((List<String>)output).Add("Write 3 Begin");
                Thread.Sleep(100);
                ((List<String>)output).Add("Write 3 End");
                threadLock.ExitWriteLock();
                ((List<String>)output).Add("Write 3 Exit");
            }
        );
        thread3.Start(outputList);

        thread1.Join();
        thread2.Join();
        thread3.Join();

        Response.Write(String.Join("<br />", outputList.ToArray()));
    }
}
