Definition
Important

Gets a value indicating whether an asynchronous operation has been canceled.
public:
property bool Cancelled { bool get(); };public bool Cancelled { get; }member this.Cancelled : boolPublic ReadOnly Property Cancelled As BooleanProperty Value
true if the background operation has been canceled; otherwise false. The default is false.
Examples
The following code example demonstrates the using an AsyncOperation to track the lifetime of asynchronous operations. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the System.ComponentModel.AsyncOperationManager class.

Remarks
When the Cancelled property is true, the asynchronous operation was interrupted.
The client application's event-handler delegate should check the Cancelled property before accessing any properties in a class derived from AsyncCompletedEventArgs; otherwise, the property will raise an InvalidOperationException if the asynchronous operation was interrupted.
Notes to Inheritors
If you provide read-only properties in a derived class, be sure to call the RaiseExceptionIfNecessary() method. This prevents clients from accessing properties that are potentially not valid due to a failure in the asynchronous operation.
