A cancellable polling Task using CancellationTokenSource
suggest changepublic class Foo
{
private CancellationTokenSource _cts;
public Foo()
{
this._cts = new CancellationTokenSource();
}
public void StartExecution()
{
Task.Factory.StartNew(this.OwnCodeCancelableTask, this._cts.Token);
}
public void CancelExecution()
{
this._cts.Cancel();
}
/// <summary>
/// "Infinite" loop with no delays. Writing to a database while pulling from a buffer for example.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="taskState">The cancellation token from our _cts field, passed in the StartNew call</param>
private void OwnCodeCancelableTask(object taskState)
{
var token = (CancellationToken) taskState; //Our cancellation token passed from StartNew();
while ( !token.IsCancellationRequested )
{
Console.WriteLine("Do your task work in this loop");
}
}
}
