System.Threading.Tasks Namespace

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

The System.Threading.Tasks namespace provides types that simplify the work of writing concurrent and asynchronous code. The main types are System.Threading.Tasks.Task which represents an asynchronous operation that can be waited on and cancelled, and System.Threading.Tasks.Task<TResult>, which is a task that can return a value. The Factory class provides static methods for creating and starting tasks, and the System.Threading.Tasks.TaskScheduler class provides the default thread scheduling infrastructure.
