c# - Canceling a task -

-

i have task need cancel if wait time over. instance

var t = task.factory.startnew(() =>  {   thread.sleep(5000) // long running task   "do something" }); task.waitall(new[] {t}, 1000);

but seems task still keeps working. tried using cancellationtokensource didnt seem work well.

i confirmed using following snippet

static void main(string[] args)         {             var cancellationtokensource = new cancellationtokensource();              var t = task.factory.startnew(() => {                 thread.sleep(5000);                 console.writeline("still working");             }, cancellationtokensource.token);              task.waitall(new[] {t}, 1000);              cancellationtokensource.cancel();              console.readline();         }

console displays "still working". thought task have been cancelled.

i sure missing something. missing? thanks.

cancellation tokens don't magically cancel anything. allow check cancellation in standardized way, e.g. via throwifcancellationrequested.

so typically you'd have task needs perform lot of work. periodically calls throwifcancellationrequested, , code needs cancel task call cancel on cancellationtokensource when needs to. task throw when next checks cancellation, , well.

it sounds you're looking non-cooperative cancellation - , dangerous, same reasons normal thread.abort dangerous. it's cleaner let task pick points @ allow cancelled.

how set z-index drawing object when using drawingcontext.drawxxx() methods? the object drawn last have higher z index. can't change index of drawn objects. way draw in order. if using wpf (as placed tag), can use, example, canvas control. create shapes need like polyline obj = new polyline(); //... // ... set properties of obj and add them canvas uielementcollection: yourcanvasname.children.add(obj); //or yourcanvasname.children.insert(i, obj); first items of collection have higher z index. advantages in way: no need redraw on window changes, can anytime move objects , change order.

i think may have found bug in webmatrix's pagedata, not sure. concerns how pass data partial page calling page. in webmatrix documentation (tutorials, e.g. " 3 - creating consistent look ", , example code), pagedata recommended mechanism pass data between pages (e.g. content page layout page, or partial page). however have found not work other way, pass data partial page calling page. modifying or adding entries in pagedata in partial page, not seem calling page. cutting right down simplest possible example, in test page may have this: @{ pagedata["test"] = "initial entry"; } <p>before calling partial page, test value @pagedata["test"]</p> @renderpage("_testpartial.cshtml") <p>after returning calling page, test value @pagedata["test"]</p> and in _testpartial.cshtml page might have this: @{ pagedata["test"] = "modified entry"; } <p>in partial page...
