All about Async/Await, System.Threading.Tasks, System.Collections.Concurrent, System.Linq, and more…
November 21, 2010Nov 21, 201011/21/10Of late, I’ve seen multiple folks asking about how to use tasks to asynchronously execute a sequence of operations. For example, given three synchronous functions:
public string DoA(string input); public string DoB(string aResult); public string DoC(string bResult);
you could invoke these functions with code like:
string aResult = DoA(input);

We’re interested in adding support for scheduling
cancellation. For example:
// Create a
token source that will Cancel() after a delay
var cts = new CancellationTokenSource(TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(100));
// And/or
schedule a Cancel() call
cts.CancelAfter(TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(100));
We’ve heard from many folks that this is a desired feature
and have found good uses for it ourselves.
