JoinableTask<T> Class

Tracks asynchronous operations and allows you to Join asynchronous operations. This is to avoid deadlocks while synchronously blocking the Main thread until the completion of the operation.

Inheritance Hierarchy

Assembly:  Microsoft.VisualStudio.Threading (in Microsoft.VisualStudio.Threading.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Class JoinableTask(Of T) _
    Inherits JoinableTask

public class JoinableTask<T> : JoinableTask

generic<typename T>
public ref class JoinableTask : public JoinableTask

type JoinableTask<'T> =  
    class 
        inherit JoinableTask 
    end

JScript does not support generic types or methods.

Type Parameters

• T
  The type of the value returned by the asynchronous operation.

The JoinableTask<T> type exposes the following members.

Properties

	Name	Description
	IsCompleted	Determines whether the asynchronous operation represented by this instance has completed. (Inherited from JoinableTask.)
	Task	Gets the asynchronous task that completes when the asynchronous operation completes.

Methods

	Name	Description
	Equals	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
	Finalize	Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetAwaiter	Gets an awaiter that is equivalent to calling JoinAsync.
	GetHashCode	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	Join	Synchronously blocks the calling thread until the operation has completed. If the calling thread is the Main thread, deadlocks are mitigated.
	JoinAsync	Joins any main thread affinity of the caller with the asynchronous operation. This is to avoid deadlocks in case the main thread ultimately synchronously blocks while waiting for the operation to complete.
	MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	ToString	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
