) As Task(Of TResult)

public Task<TResult> ContinueWhenAny(
    Task[] tasks,
    Func<Task, TResult> continuationFunction,
    TaskContinuationOptions continuationOptions
)

Parameters

tasks
Type: array<System.Threading.Tasks.Task[]
The array of tasks from which to continue when one task completes.

continuationFunction
Type: System.Func<Task, TResult>
The function delegate to execute asynchronously when one task in the tasks array completes.

continuationOptions

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ObjectDisposedException	The exception that is thrown when one of the elements in the tasks array has been disposed.
ArgumentNullException	The exception that is thrown when the tasks array is null. -or- The exception that is thrown when the continuationFunction argument is null.
ArgumentOutOfRangeException	The exception that is thrown when the continuationOptions argument specifies an invalid TaskContinuationOptions value.
ArgumentException	The exception that is thrown when the tasks array contains a null value. -or- The exception that is thrown when the tasks array is empty.

Remarks

The NotOn* and OnlyOn* TaskContinuationOptions, which constrain for which TaskStatus states a continuation will be executed, are illegal with ContinueWhenAny.

After completion, a task is in one of these states: RanToCompletion, Faulted, or Canceled states.
