Como: Desencapsular uma tarefa aninhada
Você pode retornar uma tarefa de um método e esperar ou continuar a tarefa, conforme é mostrado no exemplo a seguir:
static Task<string> DoWorkAsync()
{
return Task<String>.Factory.StartNew(() =>
{
//...
return "Work completed.";
});
}
static void StartTask()
{
Task<String> t = DoWorkAsync();
t.Wait();
Console.WriteLine(t.Result);
}
Shared Function DoWorkAsync() As Task(Of String)
Return Task(Of String).Run(Function()
'...
Return "Work completed."
End Function)
End Function
Shared Sub StartTask()
Dim t As Task(Of String) = DoWorkAsync()
t.Wait()
Console.WriteLine(t.Result)
End Sub
No exemplo anterior, a propriedade Result é do tipo string
(String
no Visual Basic).
No entanto, em alguns cenários, pode ser pertinente criar uma tarefa dentro de outra tarefa e, em seguida, retornar a tarefa aninhada. Nesse caso, o TResult
da tarefa delimitadora é uma tarefa. No exemplo a seguir, a propriedade Result é um Task<Task<string>>
em C# ou Task(Of Task(Of String))
no Visual Basic.
// Note the type of t and t2.
Task<Task<string>> t = Task.Factory.StartNew(() => DoWorkAsync());
Task<Task<string>> t2 = DoWorkAsync().ContinueWith((s) => DoMoreWorkAsync());
// Outputs: System.Threading.Tasks.Task`1[System.String]
Console.WriteLine(t.Result);
' Note the type of t and t2.
Dim t As Task(Of Task(Of String)) = Task.Run(Function() DoWorkAsync())
Dim t2 As Task(Of Task(Of String)) = DoWorkAsync().ContinueWith(Function(s) DoMoreWorkAsync())
' Outputs: System.Threading.Tasks.Task`1[System.String]
Console.WriteLine(t.Result)
Embora seja possível gravar código para decodificar a tarefa externa e recuperar a tarefa original e sua propriedade Result, esse código não é fácil escrever porque você deve lidar com exceções e solicitações de cancelamento. Nessa situação, é recomendável que você use um dos métodos de extensão Unwrap, conforme é mostrado no exemplo a seguir.
// Unwrap the inner task.
Task<string> t3 = DoWorkAsync().ContinueWith((s) => DoMoreWorkAsync()).Unwrap();
// Outputs "More work completed."
Console.WriteLine(t.Result);
' Unwrap the inner task.
Dim t3 As Task(Of String) = DoWorkAsync().ContinueWith(Function(s) DoMoreWorkAsync()).Unwrap()
' Outputs "More work completed."
Console.WriteLine(t.Result)
Os métodos Unwrap podem ser usados para transformar qualquer Task<Task>
ou Task<Task<TResult>>
(Task(Of Task)
ou Task(Of Task(Of TResult))
no Visual Basic) em um Task
ou Task<TResult>
(Task(Of TResult)
no Visual Basic). A nova tarefa representa por completo a tarefa aninhada interna e inclui o estado de cancelamento e todas as exceções.
Exemplo
O exemplo a seguir demonstra como usar os métodos de extensão Unwrap.

using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
// A program whose only use is to demonstrate Unwrap.
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
// An arbitrary threshold value.
byte threshold = 0x40;
// data is a Task<byte[]>
var data = Task<byte[]>.Factory.StartNew(() =>
{
return GetData();
});
// We want to return a task so that we can
// continue from it later in the program.
// Without Unwrap: stepTwo is a Task<Task<byte[]>>
// With Unwrap: stepTwo is a Task<byte[]>
var stepTwo = data.ContinueWith((antecedent) =>
{
return Task<byte>.Factory.StartNew( () => Compute(antecedent.Result));
})
.Unwrap();
// Without Unwrap: antecedent.Result = Task<byte>
// and the following method will not compile.
// With Unwrap: antecedent.Result = byte and
// we can work directly with the result of the Compute method.
var lastStep = stepTwo.ContinueWith( (antecedent) =>
{
if (antecedent.Result >= threshold)
{
return Task.Factory.StartNew( () => Console.WriteLine("Program complete. Final = 0x{0:x} threshold = 0x{1:x}", stepTwo.Result, threshold));
}
else
{
return DoSomeOtherAsynchronousWork(stepTwo.Result, threshold);
}
});
lastStep.Wait();
Console.WriteLine("Press any key");
Console.ReadKey();
}
