Exceptions
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| ObjectDisposedException | One or more of the Task objects in tasks has been disposed. |
| ArgumentNullException | The tasks argument is null. |
| AggregateException | At least one of the Task instances was canceled -or- an exception was thrown during the execution of at least one of the Task instances. If a task was canceled, the AggregateException contains an OperationCanceledException in its InnerExceptions collection. |
| ArgumentOutOfRangeException | timeout is a negative number other than -1 milliseconds, which represents an infinite time-out -or- timeout is greater than MaxValue. |
| ArgumentException | The tasks argument contains a null element. |
Remarks
The cancellationToken argument is used to cancel the wait operation. If it is canceled, the Wait returns false (False in Visual Basic). Cancellation of the tasks is a distinct operation, and is signaled by the AggregateException as noted above.
