As the title says, I call a method which starts to load from a database.
If a specific event is raised, I would like to prematurely exit that method without waiting for it to finish loading.
Edit: The method in question runs on the UI thread
There is no way to (cleanly) destructively cancel a method from outside of that method.
Cancellation in the .NET Framework is typically a cooperative model. This means you’re event would request a cancellation, and the method would, in turn, occasionally check for whether it should cancel and then exit cleanly.
This is handled via the
CancellationTokenandCancellationTokenSourcetypes within the framework. For details, see the topic about Cancellation on MSDN.
