 static System::Threading::Tasks::Task ^ WhenAll(System::Collections::Generic::IEnumerable<System::Threading::Tasks::Task ^> ^ tasks);
public static System.Threading.Tasks.Task WhenAll (System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<System.Threading.Tasks.Task> tasks);
static member WhenAll : seq<System.Threading.Tasks.Task> -> System.Threading.Tasks.Task
Public Shared Function WhenAll (tasks As IEnumerable(Of Task)) As Task

Parameters

tasks
IEnumerable<Task>

The tasks to wait on for completion.

Returns

A task that represents the completion of all of the supplied tasks.

Exceptions

The tasks argument was null.

The tasks collection contained a null task.

Examples

The following example creates a set of tasks that ping the URLs in an array. The tasks are stored in a List<Task> collection that is passed to the WhenAll(IEnumerable<Task>) method. After the call to the Wait method ensures that all threads have completed, the example examines the Task.Status property to determine whether any tasks have faulted.

Remarks

The overloads of the WhenAll method that return a Task object are typically called when you are interested in the status of a set of tasks or in the exceptions thrown by a set of tasks.

Note

The call to WhenAll(IEnumerable<Task>) method does not block the calling thread.

If any of the supplied tasks completes in a faulted state, the returned task will also complete in a Faulted state, where its exceptions will contain the aggregation of the set of unwrapped exceptions from each of the supplied tasks.

If none of the supplied tasks faulted but at least one of them was canceled, the returned task will end in the Canceled state.

If none of the tasks faulted and none of the tasks were canceled, the resulting task will end in the RanToCompletion state.

If the supplied array/enumerable contains no tasks, the returned task will immediately transition to a RanToCompletion state before it's returned to the caller.

Applies to

WhenAll(ReadOnlySpan<Task>)

Creates a task that will complete when all of the supplied tasks have completed.

public:
 static System::Threading::Tasks::Task ^ WhenAll(ReadOnlySpan<System::Threading::Tasks::Task ^> tasks);
public static System.Threading.Tasks.Task WhenAll (scoped ReadOnlySpan<System.Threading.Tasks.Task> tasks);
static member WhenAll : ReadOnlySpan<System.Threading.Tasks.Task> -> System.Threading.Tasks.Task
Public Shared Function WhenAll (tasks As ReadOnlySpan(Of Task)) As Task

Parameters

tasks
ReadOnlySpan<Task>

The tasks to wait on for completion.

Returns

A task that represents the completion of all of the supplied tasks.

Exceptions

The tasks array contains a null task.

Remarks

If any of the supplied tasks completes in a faulted state, the returned task will also complete in a Faulted state, where its exceptions will contain the aggregation of the set of unwrapped exceptions from each of the supplied tasks.

If none of the supplied tasks faulted but at least one of them was canceled, the returned task will end in the Canceled state.

If none of the tasks faulted and none of the tasks were canceled, the resulting task will end in the RanToCompletion state.

If the supplied span contains no tasks, the returned task will immediately transition to a RanToCompletion state before it's returned to the caller.

Remarks

The overloads of the WhenAll method that return a Task object are typically called when you are interested in the status of a set of tasks or in the exceptions thrown by a set of tasks.

Note

The call to WhenAll(Task[]) method does not block the calling thread.

If any of the supplied tasks completes in a faulted state, the returned task will also complete in a Faulted state, where its exceptions will contain the aggregation of the set of unwrapped exceptions from each of the supplied tasks.

If none of the supplied tasks faulted but at least one of them was canceled, the returned task will end in the Canceled state.

If none of the tasks faulted and none of the tasks were canceled, the resulting task will end in the RanToCompletion state.

If the supplied array/enumerable contains no tasks, the returned task will immediately transition to a RanToCompletion state before it's returned to the caller.

Applies to

WhenAll<TResult>(ReadOnlySpan<Task<TResult>>)

Creates a task that will complete when all of the supplied tasks have completed.

public:
generic <typename TResult>
 static System::Threading::Tasks::Task<cli::array <TResult> ^> ^ WhenAll(ReadOnlySpan<System::Threading::Tasks::Task<TResult> ^> tasks);
public static System.Threading.Tasks.Task<TResult[]> WhenAll<TResult> (scoped ReadOnlySpan<System.Threading.Tasks.Task<TResult>> tasks);
static member WhenAll : ReadOnlySpan<System.Threading.Tasks.Task<'Result>> -> System.Threading.Tasks.Task<'Result[]>
Public Shared Function WhenAll(Of TResult) (tasks As ReadOnlySpan(Of Task(Of TResult))) As Task(Of TResult())

Type Parameters

TResult

The type of the result returned by the tasks.

Parameters

tasks
ReadOnlySpan<Task<TResult>>

The tasks to wait on for completion.

Returns

Task<TResult[]>

A task that represents the completion of all of the supplied tasks.

Exceptions

The tasks array contains a null task.

Remarks

If any of the supplied tasks completes in a faulted state, the returned task will also complete in a Faulted state, where its exceptions will contain the aggregation of the set of unwrapped exceptions from each of the supplied tasks.

If none of the supplied tasks faulted but at least one of them was canceled, the returned task will end in the Canceled state.

If none of the tasks faulted and none of the tasks were canceled, the resulting task will end in the RanToCompletion state. The Result of the returned task will be set to an array containing all of the results of the supplied tasks in the same order as they were provided (e.g. if the input tasks array contained t1, t2, t3, the output task's Result will return an TResult[] where arr[0] == t1.Result, arr[1] == t2.Result, and arr[2] == t3.Result).

If the supplied array/enumerable contains no tasks, the returned task will immediately transition to a RanToCompletion state before it's returned to the caller. The returned TResult[] will be an array of 0 elements.

Applies to

WhenAll<TResult>(IEnumerable<Task<TResult>>)

Source:
Task.cs
Source:
Task.cs
Source:

Creates a task that will complete when all of the Task<TResult> objects in an enumerable collection have completed.

public:
generic <typename TResult>
 static System::Threading::Tasks::Task<cli::array <TResult> ^> ^ WhenAll(System::Collections::Generic::IEnumerable<System::Threading::Tasks::Task<TResult> ^> ^ tasks);
public static System.Threading.Tasks.Task<TResult[]> WhenAll<TResult> (System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<System.Threading.Tasks.Task<TResult>> tasks);
static member WhenAll : seq<System.Threading.Tasks.Task<'Result>> -> System.Threading.Tasks.Task<'Result[]>
Public Shared Function WhenAll(Of TResult) (tasks As IEnumerable(Of Task(Of TResult))) As Task(Of TResult())

Type Parameters

TResult

The type of the completed task.

Parameters

tasks
IEnumerable<Task<TResult>>

The tasks to wait on for completion.

Returns

Task<TResult[]>

A task that represents the completion of all of the supplied tasks.

Exceptions

The tasks argument was null.

The tasks collection contained a null task.

Examples

The following example creates ten tasks, each of which instantiates a random number generator that creates 1,000 random numbers between 1 and 1,000 and computes their mean. The Delay(Int32) method is used to delay instantiation of the random number generators so that they are not created with identical seed values. The call to the WhenAll method then returns an Int64 array that contains the mean computed by each task. These are then used to calculate the overall mean.

In this case, the ten individual tasks are stored in a List<T> object. List<T> implements the IEnumerable<T> interface.

Remarks

The call to WhenAll<TResult>(IEnumerable<Task<TResult>>) method does not block the calling thread. However, a call to the returned Result property does block the calling thread.

If any of the supplied tasks completes in a faulted state, the returned task will also complete in a Faulted state, where its exceptions will contain the aggregation of the set of unwrapped exceptions from each of the supplied tasks.

If none of the supplied tasks faulted but at least one of them was canceled, the returned task will end in the Canceled state.

If none of the tasks faulted and none of the tasks were canceled, the resulting task will end in the RanToCompletion state. The Task<TResult>.Result property of the returned task will be set to an array containing all of the results of the supplied tasks in the same order as they were provided (e.g. if the input tasks array contained t1, t2, t3, the output task's Task<TResult>.Result property will return an TResult[] where arr[0] == t1.Result, arr[1] == t2.Result, and arr[2] == t3.Result).

If the tasks argument contains no tasks, the returned task will immediately transition to a RanToCompletion state before it's returned to the caller. The returned TResult[] will be an array of 0 elements.

Public Shared Function WhenAll(Of TResult) (ParamArray tasks As Task(Of TResult)()) As Task(Of TResult())

Type Parameters

TResult

The type of the completed task.

Parameters

tasks
Task<TResult>[]

The tasks to wait on for completion.

Returns

Task<TResult[]>

A task that represents the completion of all of the supplied tasks.

Exceptions

The tasks argument was null.

The tasks array contained a null task.

Examples

The following example creates ten tasks, each of which instantiates a random number generator that creates 1,000 random numbers between 1 and 1,000 and computes their mean. In this case, the ten individual tasks are stored in a Task<Int64> array. The Delay(Int32) method is used to delay instantiation of the random number generators so that they are not created with identical seed values. The call to the WhenAll method then returns an Int64 array that contains the mean computed by each task. These are then used to calculate the overall mean.
