Public Methods

Name	Description
IExecutionContext::Dispatch Method	The method that is called when a thread proxy starts executing a particular execution context. This should be the main worker routine for your scheduler.
IExecutionContext::GetId Method	Returns a unique identifier for the execution context.
IExecutionContext::GetProxy Method	Returns an interface to the thread proxy that is executing this context.
IExecutionContext::GetScheduler Method	Returns an interface to the scheduler this execution context belongs to.
IExecutionContext::SetProxy Method	Associates a thread proxy with this execution context. The associated thread proxy invokes this method right before it starts executing the context's Dispatch method.

Remarks

If you are implementing a custom scheduler that interfaces with the Concurrency Runtime's Resource Manager, you will need to implement the IExecutionContext interface. The threads created by the Resource Manager perform work on behalf of your scheduler by executing the IExecutionContext::Dispatch method.
