I want to implement a behaviour for my application that at the start checks a webservivce if any news are available. If there are news available, pop open a screen to show to the user. If there are no news available, or the user quits the application (or starts the game) i dont want to bother the user but instead cancel the task to retrieve the news item

I thought it would be a breeze doing this with the Task Library but unfortunatly it is not available in the default loadout on Windows Phone (or is it?).

I think the key here is the cancelable part. I certainly know how to start an async op, but what is the best practice for hte cancelable part?

    The Task Parallel Library is available for Windows Phone, in this NuGet package: System.Threading.Tasks.

    But I don’t really get why you care to cancel the task. If the user quits the application, the task end, and if you do another action, nothing happens.
