.NET 4.0 introduces a more "high level" construct than thread to write parallel program, System.Threading.Tasks.
Task. Task is a unit of work which could be assigned on to a CPU core. This is a versatile and comprehensive API. You can wait/join a
Task, cancel a
Task, continue with another task when a task completes and more. When you need this functionality, you should try this class.
Task class has a
static property, Factory, of type
TaskFactory. This class provides methods to create tasks from different options. The simplest way to create a task is, call the StartNew(Action act) method on
Task.Factory, passing an Action delegate.
By calling ContinueWith(Action
) on a task, we can specify another task which should be completed after a particular task has completed.
You can wait on a task to complete, by calling wait method on task:
You can cancel a task asynchronously, by calling Cancel() on the task:
You can cancel a task Synchronously, by calling CancelAndWait():
You can run a task synchronously, by calling RunSycnronously():
