.NET 4 has a Class – Task.
It’s pretty interesting and I would like to start using it. For example, I would like to create a very simple Task-based files downloader, with the ability to cancel with every download.
Can anyone introduce me to some sample code of doing that? I would like to have an list of running tasks and would like to be able to cancel any of them.
P.S. Code sample can be not functioning I just want to know how to use these things in a best way.
If you want to be able to cancel one or more tasks, you need to create a
CancellationTokenSourceand pass in theCancellationTokenof this to eachTask. If all theTasks must be cancelled using the same operation, they can share the same token. If each task can be cancelled independently of the other, you need to have separateCancellationTokens. Please check this guide for examples of how to cancel parallel tasks.
