In our journey through the Task Parallel Library (TPL), we’ve explored the creation of tasks, task scheduling, and task continuations. While TPL empowers us to build efficient and responsive applications through parallelism and concurrency, it’s equally important to know how to gracefully handle situations where tasks need to be canceled or have a time limit. In this article, we’ll dive into task cancellation and timeout handling with TPL.
Understanding Task Cancellation
Task cancellation is the process of terminating a task’s execution before it completes. This can be crucial in scenarios where a task is taking too long to…
