Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ObjectDisposedException	The Task<TResult> has been disposed. -or- The CancellationTokenSource that created cancellationToken has already been disposed.
ArgumentNullException	The continuationFunction argument is null. -or- The scheduler argument is null.
ArgumentOutOfRangeException	The continuationOptions argument specifies an invalid value for TaskContinuationOptions.

ObjectDisposedException

The Task<TResult> has been disposed.

-or-

The CancellationTokenSource that created cancellationToken has already been disposed.

ArgumentNullException

The continuationFunction argument is null.

-or-

The scheduler argument is null.

ArgumentOutOfRangeException

The continuationOptions argument specifies an invalid value for TaskContinuationOptions.

Remarks

The returned Task<TResult> will not be scheduled for execution until the current task has completed, whether it completes due to running to completion successfully, faulting due to an unhandled exception, or exiting out early due to being canceled.

The continuationFunction, when executed, should return a Task<TResult>.
