Syntax

'Declaration
Public Shared Function WaitAll ( _
    tasks As Task(), _
    timeout As TimeSpan _
) As Boolean
public static bool WaitAll(
    Task[] tasks,
    TimeSpan timeout
)

Parameters

  • timeout
    Type: System.TimeSpan
    A TimeSpan that represents the number of milliseconds to wait, or a TimeSpan that represents -1 milliseconds to wait indefinitely.

Return Value

Type: System.Boolean
true if all of the Task instances completed execution within the allotted time; otherwise, false.

Exceptions

Exception Condition
ObjectDisposedException

One or more of the Task objects in tasks has been disposed.

ArgumentNullException

The tasks argument is null.

AggregateException

At least one of the Task instances was canceled -or- an exception was thrown during the execution of at least one of the Task instances. If a task was canceled, the AggregateException contains an OperationCanceledException in its InnerExceptions collection.

ArgumentOutOfRangeException

timeout is a negative number other than -1 milliseconds, which represents an infinite time-out -or- timeout is greater than MaxValue.

ArgumentException

The tasks argument contains a null element.

Remarks

The cancellationToken argument is used to cancel the wait operation. If it is canceled, the Wait returns false (False in Visual Basic). Cancellation of the tasks is a distinct operation, and is signaled by the AggregateException as noted above.
