extent locks

hi
Im getting exclusive locks on my table and ext is the resource locked......
can anyone explain me..why do we get ext locks on tables.
regardjust means SQL server has identified a group of 8 pages(extent) for update insert(most likely upadte and insert), create or drop destined for an exclusive lock. More efficient than locking an individual page of a contiguous set of 8 pages|||They are most likely Intent locks and essentially help to prevent things
like deadlocks.
