Remarks

Note

The TPL Dataflow Library (the System.Threading.Tasks.Dataflow namespace) is not distributed with .NET. To install the System.Threading.Tasks.Dataflow namespace in Visual Studio, open your project, choose Manage NuGet Packages from the Project menu, and search online for the System.Threading.Tasks.Dataflow package. Alternatively, to install it using the .NET Core CLI, run dotnet add package System.Threading.Tasks.Dataflow.

Constructors

BufferBlock<T>()	Initializes a new BufferBlock<T>.
BufferBlock<T>(DataflowBlockOptions)	Initializes a new BufferBlock<T> with the specified DataflowBlockOptions.

Properties

Completion	Gets a Task that represents the asynchronous operation and completion of the dataflow block.
Count	Gets the number of items currently stored in the buffer.

Methods

Complete()	Signals to the IDataflowBlock that it should not accept nor produce any more messages nor consume any more postponed messages.
Equals(Object)	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object)
GetHashCode()	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object)
GetType()	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
LinkTo(ITargetBlock<T>, DataflowLinkOptions)	Links the ISourceBlock<TOutput> to the specified ITargetBlock<TInput>.
MemberwiseClone()	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object)
ToString()	Returns a string that represents the formatted name of this IDataflowBlock instance.
TryReceive(Predicate<T>, T)	Attempts to synchronously receive an available output item from the IReceivableSourceBlock<TOutput>.
TryReceiveAll(IList<T>)	Attempts to synchronously receive all available items from the IReceivableSourceBlock<TOutput>.

Explicit Interface Implementations

IDataflowBlock.Fault(Exception)	Causes the IDataflowBlock to complete in a Faulted state.
ISourceBlock<T>.ConsumeMessage(DataflowMessageHeader, ITargetBlock<T>, Boolean)	Called by a linked ITargetBlock<TInput> to accept and consume a DataflowMessageHeader previously offered by this ISourceBlock<TOutput>.
ISourceBlock<T>.ReleaseReservation(DataflowMessageHeader, ITargetBlock<T>)	Called by a linked ITargetBlock<TInput> to release a previously reserved DataflowMessageHeader by this ISourceBlock<TOutput>.
ISourceBlock<T>.ReserveMessage(DataflowMessageHeader, ITargetBlock<T>)	Called by a linked ITargetBlock<TInput> to reserve a previously offered DataflowMessageHeader by this ISourceBlock<TOutput>.
ITargetBlock<T>.OfferMessage(DataflowMessageHeader, T, ISourceBlock<T>, Boolean)	Offers a message to the ITargetBlock<TInput>, giving the target the opportunity to consume or postpone the message.

Extension Methods

AsObservable<TOutput>(ISourceBlock<TOutput>)	Creates a new IObservable<T> abstraction over the ISourceBlock<TOutput>.
AsObserver<TInput>(ITargetBlock<TInput>)	Creates a new IObserver<T> abstraction over the ITargetBlock<TInput>.
LinkTo<TOutput>(ISourceBlock<TOutput>, ITargetBlock<TOutput>, Predicate<TOutput>)	Links the ISourceBlock<TOutput> to the specified ITargetBlock<TInput> using the specified filter.
LinkTo<TOutput>(ISourceBlock<TOutput>, ITargetBlock<TOutput>, DataflowLinkOptions, Predicate<TOutput>)	Links the ISourceBlock<TOutput> to the specified ITargetBlock<TInput> using the specified filter.
