Task.Status Property

public:
 property System::Threading::Tasks::TaskStatus Status { System::Threading::Tasks::TaskStatus get(); };

public System.Threading.Tasks.TaskStatus Status { get; }

member this.Status : System.Threading.Tasks.TaskStatus

Public ReadOnly Property Status As TaskStatus

Property Value

The current TaskStatus of this task instance.

Examples

The following example creates 20 tasks that will loop until a counter is incremented to a value of 2 million. When the first 10 tasks reach 2 million, the cancellation token is cancelled, and any tasks whose counters have not reached 2 million are cancelled. The example then examines the Status property of each task to indicate whether it completed successfully or was cancelled. For those that completed, it displays the value returned by the task.

Remarks

Retrieving the value of the Task.Status property does not block the calling thread until the task has completed.
