Procedura: Evitare l'associazione di un'attività figlio alla relativa attività padre

In questo documento viene illustrato come impedire a un'attività figlio di essere associata all'attività padre. L'impedimento dell'associazione di un'attività figlio al relativo padre è utile quando si chiama un componente scritto da terze parti e in cui si utilizzano anche attività. Ad esempio, un componente di terze parti in cui si utilizza l'opzione TaskCreationOptions.AttachedToParent per creare un oggetto Task o Task<TResult> può causare problemi nel codice se è in esecuzione prolungata o genera un'eccezione non gestita.

Esempio

Nell'esempio seguente vengono confrontati gli effetti dell'utilizzo delle opzioni predefinite con gli effetti della mancata associazione di un'attività figlio al padre. Nell'esempio viene creato un oggetto Task tramite cui viene chiamata una libreria di terze parti in cui si utilizza anche un oggetto Task. Nella libreria di terze parti viene utilizzata l'opzione AttachedToParent per creare l'oggetto Task. Nell'applicazione viene utilizzata l'opzione TaskCreationOptions.DenyChildAttach per creare l'attività padre. Questa opzione indica al runtime di rimuovere la specifica AttachedToParent nelle attività figlio.

Poiché un'attività padre non viene completata finché non lo sono anche tutte le attività figlio, un'attività figlio di lunga durata può ridurre notevolmente le prestazioni dell'applicazione in generale. In questo esempio, quando nell'applicazione vengono utilizzate le opzioni predefinite per creare l'attività padre, l'attività figlio deve essere completata prima di quella del padre. Quando nell'applicazione viene utilizzata l'opzione TaskCreationOptions.DenyChildAttach, l'elemento figlio non è associato al padre. Pertanto, tramite l'applicazione è possibile eseguire lavoro aggiuntivo al termine dell'attività padre e prima dell'attesa del completamento dell'attività figlio.
