如何对这项任务进行调整

Question

I am calling a third party library API's Run method as follows

await Task.Factory.StartNew(() => ThirdPartLibraryAPI.Run());

I would like to setup some timeout on this in case this API takes too long. How can I do that?

Answer 1

Here is a code snippet:

        var timeoutTask = Task.Delay(1500);
        //using .ContinueWith(t => /*stuff to do on timeout*/);
        //will cause the code to execute even if the timeout did not happen.
        //remember that this task keeps running. we are just not waiting for it
        //in case the worker task finishes first.

        var workerTask = Task.Run(() => { ThirdPartLibraryAPI.Run() });
        var taskThatCompletedFirst = await Task.WhenAny(timeoutTask, workerTask);

        //stuff to do on timeout can be done here
        //if (taskThatCompletedFirst == timeoutTask)

Answer 2

you can use this snippet

Task t = Task.Factory.StartNew(() => ThirdPartLibraryAPI.Run());
Task.WaitAny(t, miliseconds);
