Examples

The following example calls the Wait(Int32, CancellationToken) method to provide both a timeout value and a cancellation token that can end the wait for a task's completion. A new thread is started and executes the CancelToken method, which pauses and then calls the CancellationTokenSource.Cancel method to cancel the cancellation tokens. A task is then launched and delays for 5 seconds. The Wait method is then called to wait for the task's completion and is provided both a brief timeout value and a cancellation token.

Remarks

Wait(Int32, CancellationToken) is a synchronization method that causes the calling thread to wait for the current task instance to complete until one of the following occurs:

• The task completes successfully.

• The task itself is canceled or throws an exception. In this case, you handle an AggregateException exception. The AggregateException.InnerExceptions property contains details about the exception or exceptions.

• The cancellationToken cancellation token is canceled. In this case, the call to the Wait(Int32, CancellationToken) method throws an OperationCanceledException.

• The interval defined by millisecondsTimeout elapses. In this case, the current thread resumes execution and the method returns false.

Note

Canceling the cancellationToken cancellation token has no effect on the running task unless it has also been passed the cancellation token and is prepared to handle cancellation. Passing the cancellationToken object to this method simply allows the wait to be canceled based on some condition.

Wait(TimeSpan)

Source:

Task.cs

Waits for the Task to complete execution within a specified time interval.

public:
 bool Wait(TimeSpan timeout);

public bool Wait (TimeSpan timeout);

member this.Wait : TimeSpan -> bool

Public Function Wait (timeout As TimeSpan) As Boolean

Parameters

timeout

TimeSpan

A TimeSpan that represents the number of milliseconds to wait, or a TimeSpan that represents -1 milliseconds to wait indefinitely.

Returns

Boolean

true if the Task completed execution within the allotted time; otherwise, false.

Exceptions

ObjectDisposedException

The Task has been disposed.

ArgumentOutOfRangeException

timeout is a negative number other than -1 milliseconds, which represents an infinite time-out.

-or-

timeout is greater than Int32.MaxValue.

AggregateException

The task was canceled. The InnerExceptions collection contains a TaskCanceledException object.

-or-

An exception was thrown during the execution of the task. The InnerExceptions collection contains information about the exception or exceptions.

Examples

The following example starts a task that generates five million random integers between 0 and 100 and computes their mean. The example uses the Wait(TimeSpan) method to wait for the application to complete within 150 milliseconds. If the application completes normally, the task displays the sum and mean of the random numbers that it has generated. If the timeout interval has elapsed, the example displays a message before it terminates.

Remarks

Wait(TimeSpan) is a synchronization method that causes the calling thread to wait for the current task instance to complete until one of the following occurs:

• The task completes successfully.

• The task itself is canceled or throws an exception. In this case, you handle an AggregateException exception. The AggregateException.InnerExceptions property contains details about the exception or exceptions.

• The interval defined by timeout elapses. In this case, the current thread resumes execution and the method returns false.

Wait(CancellationToken)

Source:

Task.cs

Waits for the Task to complete execution. The wait terminates if a cancellation token is canceled before the task completes.

public:
 void Wait(System::Threading::CancellationToken cancellationToken);

public void Wait (System.Threading.CancellationToken cancellationToken);

member this.Wait : System.Threading.CancellationToken -> unit

Public Sub Wait (cancellationToken As CancellationToken)

Parameters

cancellationToken

CancellationToken

A cancellation token to observe while waiting for the task to complete.

Exceptions

OperationCanceledException

The cancellationToken was canceled.

ObjectDisposedException

The task has been disposed.

AggregateException

The task was canceled. The InnerExceptions collection contains a TaskCanceledException object.

-or-

An exception was thrown during the execution of the task. The InnerExceptions collection contains information about the exception or exceptions.

Examples

The following example illustrates the simple use of a cancellation token to cancel waiting for a task's completion. A task is launched, calls the CancellationTokenSource.Cancel method to cancel any of the token source's cancellation tokens, and then delays for five seconds. Note that the task itself has not been passed the cancellation token and is not cancelable. The application thread calls the task's Task.Wait method to wait for the task to complete, but the wait is canceled once the cancellation token is cancelled and an OperationCanceledException is thrown. The exception handler reports the exception and then sleeps for six seconds. As the output from the example shows, that delay allows the task to complete in the RanToCompletion state.

Remarks

The Wait(CancellationToken) method creates a cancelable wait; that is, it causes the current thread to wait until one of the following occurs:

• The task completes.

• The cancellation token is canceled. In this case, the call to the Wait(CancellationToken) method throws an OperationCanceledException.

Note

Canceling the cancellationToken cancellation token has no effect on the running task unless it has also been passed the cancellation token and is prepared to handle cancellation. Passing the cancellationToken object to this method simply allows the wait to be canceled.

Wait()

Source:

Task.cs

Waits for the Task to complete execution.

public:
 void Wait();

public void Wait ();

member this.Wait : unit -> unit

Public Sub Wait ()

Exceptions

ObjectDisposedException

The Task has been disposed.

AggregateException

The task was canceled. The InnerExceptions collection contains a TaskCanceledException object.

-or-

An exception was thrown during the execution of the task. The InnerExceptions collection contains information about the exception or exceptions.

Examples

The following example starts a task that generates one million random integers between 0 and 100 and computes their mean. The example uses the Wait method to ensure that the task completes before the application terminates. Otherwise, because this is a console application, the example would terminate before the task can compute and display the mean.

Remarks

Wait is a synchronization method that causes the calling thread to wait until the current task has completed. If the current task has not started execution, the Wait method attempts to remove the task from the scheduler and execute it inline on the current thread. If it is unable to do that, or if the current task has already started execution, it blocks the calling thread until the task completes. For more information, see Task.Wait and "Inlining" in the Parallel Programming with .NET blog.

Wait(Int32)

Source:

Task.cs

Waits for the Task to complete execution within a specified number of milliseconds.

public:
 bool Wait(int millisecondsTimeout);

public bool Wait (int millisecondsTimeout);

member this.Wait : int -> bool

Public Function Wait (millisecondsTimeout As Integer) As Boolean

Parameters

millisecondsTimeout

Int32

The number of milliseconds to wait, or Infinite (-1) to wait indefinitely.

Returns

Boolean

true if the Task completed execution within the allotted time; otherwise, false.

Exceptions

ObjectDisposedException

The Task has been disposed.

ArgumentOutOfRangeException

millisecondsTimeout is a negative number other than -1, which represents an infinite time-out.

AggregateException

The task was canceled. The InnerExceptions collection contains a TaskCanceledException object.

-or-

An exception was thrown during the execution of the task. The InnerExceptions collection contains information about the exception or exceptions.

Examples

The following example starts a task that generates five million random integers between 0 and 100 and computes their mean. The example uses the Wait(Int32) method to wait for the application to complete within 150 milliseconds. If the application completes normally, the task displays the sum and mean of the random numbers that it has generated. If the timeout interval has elapsed, the example displays a message before it terminates.

Remarks

Wait(Int32) is a synchronization method that causes the calling thread to wait for the current task instance to complete until one of the following occurs:

• The task completes successfully.

• The task itself is canceled or throws an exception. In this case, you handle an AggregateException exception. The AggregateException.InnerExceptions property contains details about the exception or exceptions.

• The interval defined by millisecondsTimeout elapses. In this case, the current thread resumes execution and the method returns false.
