I have the async code that implements cancellation token. It's working but Im not pretty sure if this is the right way to do it so I just want feedback about it.
Here is the actual code:
/// <summary>
///
/// </summary>
private async void SaveData() {
if (GetActiveServiceRequest() != null)
{
var tokenSource = new System.Threading.CancellationTokenSource();
this.ShowWizardPleaseWait("Saving data...");
var someTask = System.Threading.Tasks.Task<bool>.Factory.StartNew(() =>
{
bool returnVal = false;
// Set sleep of 7 seconds to test the 5 seconds timeout.
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(7000);
if (!tokenSource.IsCancellationRequested)
{
// if not cancelled then save data
App.Data.EmployeeWCF ws = new App.Data.EmployeeWCF ();
returnVal = ws.UpdateData(_employee.Data);
ws.Dispose();
}
return returnVal;
}, tokenSource.Token);
if (await System.Threading.Tasks.Task.WhenAny(someTask, System.Threading.Tasks.Task.Delay(5000)) == someTask)
{
// Completed
this.HideWizardPleaseWait();
if (someTask.Result)
{
this.DialogResult = System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK;
}
else
{
this.DialogResult = System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.Abort;
}
btnOK.Enabled = true;
this.Close();
}
else
{
tokenSource.Cancel();
// Timeout logic
this.HideWizardPleaseWait();
MessageBox.Show("Timeout. Please try again.")
}
}
}
Does async / await / cancellation code is well implemented?
