 | Continuation Tasks
The eleventh part of the Parallel Programming in .NET tutorial considers the use of continuation tasks. These are parallel tasks that start automatically when one or more other tasks complete, allowing a chain of dependent tasks to be executed correctly. |
| Nested Tasks
The twelfth part of the Parallel Programming in .NET tutorial looks at the ability for tasks to be nested. A nested task is one that is created and executed within the delegate of another. Nested tasks are not linked to their parent tasks. |
| Child Tasks
The thirteenth part of the Parallel Programming in .NET tutorial describes the use of attached child tasks. Like nested tasks, these are created without the scope of an existing parallel task. The difference is that a child tasks is linked to its parent. |
| Task Cancellation
The fourteenth part of the Parallel Programming in .NET tutorial examines how parallel tasks are cancelled. This includes stopping single tasks, co-ordinating the cancellation of multiple tasks and dealing with tasks that are cancelled before they start. |
| Parallel LINQ
The fifteenth and final part of the Parallel Programming in .NET tutorial leaves the examination of imperative programming using loops and tasks. It starts the description of declarative programming using Parallel Language-Integrated Query. |
