In our exploration of the Task Parallel Library (TPL), we’ve covered essential topics like task creation, scheduling, continuations, and task cancellation. Now, it’s time to tackle a critical aspect of parallel and concurrent programming: exception handling. Handling exceptions gracefully is crucial for building robust and reliable applications with TPL. In this article, we’ll delve into best practices and strategies for managing exceptions in TPL.

The Challenge of Exception Handling

In a multi-threaded environment, exceptions can be particularly challenging. An exception occurring in one thread might go unnoticed…
