The
Taskclass is designed, and intended, to use the new Cooperative Cancellation model of .NET 4 instead of relying on a destructive “abort” style of cancellation.There is no direct way to cancel a
Task(likeThread.Abort(), though that’s very bad to use in any case), but there is an entire framework in place to provide the tooling to request that the Task cancel itself.
