Task Class

This topic describes several internal members of the System.Threading.Tasks.Task class to help you implement a custom debugger. For general information about this class, see Task.

Notes

This information is specific to .NET Framework 4 and is subject to change in a future release.

Because you cannot access these members from the .NET Framework, this topic provides syntax in Microsoft intermediate language (MSIL). For more information about MSIL, see Compiling to MSIL.

Namespace:  System.Threading.Tasks

Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

.class public auto ansi System.Threading.Tasks.Task
       extends System.Object
       implements System.Threading.IThreadPoolWorkItem,
                  System.IAsyncResult,
                  System.IDisposable,
                  System.Threading.ICancelableOperation

TASK_STATE_EXECUTED

Indicates that the task is running.

TASK_STATE_FAULTED

Indicates that the task completed because of an unhandled exception.

TASK_STATE_RAN_TO_COMPLETION

  • ExecuteEntry

  • ExecuteWithThreadLocal

  • Finish

  • InnerInvoke

  • InternalWait
