IHostTask Interface

Provides methods that allow the common language runtime (CLR) to communicate with the host to manage tasks.

Methods

Method	Description
Alert Method	Requests that the host wake the task represented by the current `IHostTask` instance, so the task can be aborted.
GetPriority Method	Gets the thread priority level of the task represented by the current `IHostTask` instance.
Join Method	Blocks the calling task until the task represented by the current `IHostTask` instance completes, the specified time interval elapses, or IHostTask::Alert is called.
SetCLRTask Method	Associates an ICLRTask Interface instance with the current `IHostTask` instance.
SetPriority Method	Requests that the host adjust the thread priority level for the task represented by the current `IHostTask` instance.
Start Method	Requests that the host move the task represented by the current `IHostTask` instance from a suspended state to a live state, in which code can be executed.

The CLR calls methods defined by IHostTask to start a task, set its thread priority level, and so on.
