使用接續工作來鏈結工作

在非同步程式設計中,在非同步作業完成時叫用第二個作業很普遍。 接續允許子系作業取用第一個作業的結果。 傳統上,會使用回呼方法完成接續。 在工作平行程式庫 (TPL) 中,由 「接續工作」(continuation task) 提供相同的功能。 接續工作 (也只稱為接續) 是另一項稱為 「前項」(antecedent) 的工作所叫用的非同步工作,此時會完成前項。

接續相對容易使用,但卻非常強大且有彈性。 例如,您可以:

  • 將資料從前項傳遞至接續。
  • 指定叫用或不叫用接續的精確條件。
  • 在接續開始之前或是在以合作方式執行時取消接續。
  • 提供有關該如何排定接續的提示。
  • 從相同前項叫用多個接續。
  • 當所有或多個前項之任何一項完成時,請叫用一個接續。
  • 鏈結接續可一個接著一個直到任意長度。
  • 使用接續處理前項所擲回的例外狀況。

關於接續

接續是在 WaitingForActivation 狀態建立的工作。 當其前項工作完成時,此工作便會自動啟動。 在使用者程式碼中的接續呼叫 Task.Start 會擲回 System.InvalidOperationException 例外狀況。

接續本身是 Task,啟動時並不會封鎖執行緒。 呼叫 Task.Wait 方法來封鎖,直到完成接續工作。

建立單一前項的接續

您可建立當前項藉由呼叫 Task.ContinueWith 方法完成時執行的接續。 下列範例顯示其基本模式 (為求清楚明瞭,省略例外狀況處理)。 它會執行前項工作 taskA,這會傳回表示今天是星期幾之名稱的 DayOfWeek 物件。 taskA 完成時,表示 antecedentContinueWith 接續方法中的結果。 前項工作的結果會寫入主控台。

using System;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

public class SimpleExample
{
    public static async Task Main()
    {
        // Declare, assign, and start the antecedent task.
        Task<DayOfWeek> taskA = Task.Run(() => DateTime.Today.DayOfWeek);

        // Execute the continuation when the antecedent finishes.
        await taskA.ContinueWith(antecedent => Console.WriteLine($"Today is {antecedent.Result}."));
    }
}
// The example displays the following output:
//       Today is Monday.
Imports System.Threading.Tasks

Module Example
    Public Sub Main()
        ' Execute the antecedent.
        Dim taskA As Task(Of DayOfWeek) = Task.Run(Function() DateTime.Today.DayOfWeek)

        ' Execute the continuation when the antecedent finishes.
        Dim continuation As Task = taskA.ContinueWith(Sub(antecedent)
                                                          Console.WriteLine("Today is {0}.", antecedent.Result)
                                                      End Sub)
        continuation.Wait()
    End Sub
End Module
' The example displays output like the following output:
'       Today is Monday.

建立多個前項的接續

您也可以建立會在任何或所有群組工作完成時執行的接續。 當所有前項工作都完成後,若要執行接續,您可以呼叫靜態 Shared 方法 (在 Visual Basic 中為 Task.WhenAll) 或執行個體 TaskFactory.ContinueWhenAll 方法。 當任意前項工作完成後,若要執行接續,您可以呼叫靜態 Shared 方法 (在 Visual Basic 中為 Task.WhenAny) 或執行個體 TaskFactory.ContinueWhenAny 方法。

呼叫 Task.WhenAllTask.WhenAny 多載並不會封鎖呼叫執行緒。 不過,一般都會呼叫 Task.WhenAll(IEnumerable<Task>)Task.WhenAll(Task[]) 以外的所有方法,來擷取傳回的 Task<TResult>.Result 屬性,其會封鎖呼叫執行緒。

下列範例會呼叫 Task.WhenAll(IEnumerable<Task>) 方法來建立接續工作,這會反映其 10 個前項工作的結果。 每個前項工作計算介於 1 到 10 之間的索引值平方。 如果順利完成前項 (其 Task.Status 屬性是 TaskStatus.RanToCompletion),則接續的 Task<TResult>.Result 屬性是每個前項所傳回的 Task<TResult>.Result 值之陣列。 此範例會加入它們,以計算介於 1 到 10 之間所有數字的平方和:

using System.Collections.Generic;
using System;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

public class WhenAllExample
{
    public static async Task Main()
    {
        var tasks = new List<Task<int>>();
        for (int ctr = 1; ctr <= 10; ctr++)
        {
            int baseValue = ctr;
            tasks.Add(Task.Factory.StartNew(b => (int)b! * (int)b, baseValue));
        }

        var results = await Task.WhenAll(tasks);

        int sum = 0;
        for (int ctr = 0; ctr <= results.Length - 1; ctr++)
        {
            var result = results[ctr];
            Console.Write($"{result} {((ctr == results.Length - 1) ? "=" : "+")} ");
            sum += result;
        }

        Console.WriteLine(sum);
    }
}
// The example displays the similar output:
//    1 + 4 + 9 + 16 + 25 + 36 + 49 + 64 + 81 + 100 = 385
Imports System.Collections.Generic
Imports System.Threading.Tasks

Module Example
    Public Sub Main()
        Dim tasks As New List(Of Task(Of Integer))()
        For ctr As Integer = 1 To 10
            Dim baseValue As Integer = ctr
            tasks.Add(Task.Factory.StartNew(Function(b)
                                                Dim i As Integer = CInt(b)
                                                Return i * i
                                            End Function, baseValue))
        Next
        Dim continuation = Task.WhenAll(tasks)

        Dim sum As Long = 0
        For ctr As Integer = 0 To continuation.Result.Length - 1
            Console.Write("{0} {1} ", continuation.Result(ctr),
                          If(ctr = continuation.Result.Length - 1, "=", "+"))
            sum += continuation.Result(ctr)
        Next
        Console.WriteLine(sum)
    End Sub
End Module
' The example displays the following output:
'       1 + 4 + 9 + 16 + 25 + 36 + 49 + 64 + 81 + 100 = 385

接續選項

當您建立單一工作接續時,您可以使用 ContinueWith 多載,這會採用 System.Threading.Tasks.TaskContinuationOptions 列舉值,以指定啟動接續的條件。 例如,您可以指定只有當前項已順利完成,或只有當它在發生錯誤的狀態下完成時,才執行接續。 當前項已準備好叫用接續時,若此條件不成立,則此接續直接轉換至 TaskStatus.Canceled 狀態,並且不能在這之後啟動。

許多多工接續方法,例如 TaskFactory.ContinueWhenAll 方法的多載,也包含 System.Threading.Tasks.TaskContinuationOptions 參數。 不過,只有所有 System.Threading.Tasks.TaskContinuationOptions 列舉類型成員的子集有效。 您可以指定 System.Threading.Tasks.TaskContinuationOptions 值,該值具有 System.Threading.Tasks.TaskCreationOptions 列舉程式中的對應項目,例如 TaskContinuationOptions.AttachedToParentTaskContinuationOptions.LongRunningTaskContinuationOptions.PreferFairness。 如果您指定具有多工接續的任何 NotOnOnlyOn 選項,則會在執行階段擲回 ArgumentOutOfRangeException 例外狀況。

如需有關工作接續選項的詳細資訊,請參閱 TaskContinuationOptions 一文。

傳遞資料至接續

Task.ContinueWith 方法將做為引數傳遞前項的參考至接續的使用者委派。 如果前項是 System.Threading.Tasks.Task<TResult> 物件,且工作執行直到它已完成,則接續可以存取 Task<TResult>.Result 工作的屬性。

Task<TResult>.Result 屬性會封鎖,直到完成工作。 不過,如果工作已取消,或發生錯誤,則嘗試存取 Result 屬性則會擲回 AggregateException 例外狀況。 請使用 OnlyOnRanToCompletion 選項來避免這個問題,如下列範例所示:

using System;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

public class ResultExample
{
    public static async Task Main()
    {
       var task = Task.Run(
           () =>
           {
                DateTime date = DateTime.Now;
                return date.Hour > 17
                    ? "evening"
                    : date.Hour > 12
                        ? "afternoon"
                        : "morning";
            });
        
        await task.ContinueWith(
            antecedent =>
            {
                Console.WriteLine($"Good {antecedent.Result}!");
                Console.WriteLine($"And how are you this fine {antecedent.Result}?");
            }, TaskContinuationOptions.OnlyOnRanToCompletion);
   }
}
// The example displays the similar output:
//       Good afternoon!
//       And how are you this fine afternoon?
Imports System.Threading.Tasks

Module Example
    Public Sub Main()
        Dim t = Task.Run(Function()
                             Dim dat As DateTime = DateTime.Now
                             If dat = DateTime.MinValue Then
                                 Throw New ArgumentException("The clock is not working.")
                             End If

                             If dat.Hour > 17 Then
                                 Return "evening"
                             Else If dat.Hour > 12 Then

        Dim c = t.ContinueWith(Sub(antecedent)
                                   Console.WriteLine("Good {0}!",
                                                     antecedent.Result)
                                   Console.WriteLine("And how are you this fine {0}?",
                                                     antecedent.Result)
                               End Sub, TaskContinuationOptions.OnlyOnRanToCompletion)
        c.Wait()
    End Sub
End Module
' The example displays output like the following:

如果您想執行接續,即使前項並未執行到順利完成,您也必須防範例外狀況。 其中一個方法是測試前項的 Task.Status 屬性,而且只嘗試存取 Result 屬性 (若狀態不是 FaultedCanceled)。 您也可以檢查前項的 Exception 屬性。 如需詳細資訊,請參閱例外狀況處理。 下列範例會修改上述範例來存取前項的 Task<TResult>.Result 屬性 (僅在當其狀態為 TaskStatus.RanToCompletion 之時):

                {
                    if (antecedent.Status == TaskStatus.RanToCompletion)
                    {

取消接續

在下列情況中,接續的 Task.Status 屬性會被設定為 TaskStatus.Canceled

如果工作及其接續代表相同的邏輯作業的兩個部分,則您可傳遞相同的取消語彙基元給這兩項工作,如下列範例所示。 這包含會產生可由 33 整除的整數清單之前項,這會傳遞給接續。 接續會輪流顯示此清單。 前項和接續會定期暫停隨機一段時間。 此外,在 5 秒的逾時時間間隔後, System.Threading.Timer 物件會用來執行 Elapsed 方法。 此範例會呼叫 CancellationTokenSource.Cancel 方法,導致目前正在執行的工作去呼叫 CancellationToken.ThrowIfCancellationRequested 方法。 當前項或其接續執行時,是否呼叫 CancellationTokenSource.Cancel 方法取決於隨機產生的暫停持續期間。 如果取消前項,將不會啟動接續。 如果未取消前項,則語彙基元仍可用於取消接續。

若在不需要提供接續的取消語彙基元情況下取消前項,則您也可以防止接續執行。 您建立接續時指定 TaskContinuationOptions.NotOnCanceled 的選項來語彙機元,如下列範例所示:

using System;
using System.Threading;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

public class CancellationTwoExample
{
    public static async Task Main()
    {
        using var cts = new CancellationTokenSource();
        CancellationToken token = cts.Token;
        cts.Cancel();

        var task = Task.FromCanceled(token);
        Task continuation =
            task.ContinueWith(
                antecedent => Console.WriteLine("The continuation is running."),
                TaskContinuationOptions.NotOnCanceled);

        try
        {
            await task;
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            Console.WriteLine($"{ex.GetType().Name}: {ex.Message}");
            Console.WriteLine();
        }

        Console.WriteLine($"Task {task.Id}: {task.Status:G}");
        Console.WriteLine($"Task {continuation.Id}: {continuation.Status:G}");
    }
}
// The example displays the similar output:
//       TaskCanceledException: A task was canceled.
//
//       Task 1: Canceled
//       Task 2: Canceled
Imports System.Threading
Imports System.Threading.Tasks

Module Example
    Public Sub Main()
        Dim cts As New CancellationTokenSource()
        Dim token As CancellationToken = cts.Token
        cts.Cancel()

        Dim t As Task = Task.FromCanceled(token)
        Dim continuation As Task = t.ContinueWith(Sub(antecedent)
                                                      Console.WriteLine("The continuation is running.")
                                                  End Sub, TaskContinuationOptions.NotOnCanceled)
        Try
            t.Wait()

                Console.WriteLine("{0}: {1}", ie.GetType().Name, ie.Message)
            Next
            Console.WriteLine()
        Finally
            cts.Dispose()
        End Try

        Console.WriteLine("Task {0}: {1:G}", t.Id, t.Status)
        Console.WriteLine("Task {0}: {1:G}", continuation.Id,
                          continuation.Status)
    End Sub
End Module
' The example displays the following output:
'       TaskCanceledException: A task was canceled.
'
'       Task 1: Canceled
'       Task 2: Canceled

在接續進入 Canceled 狀態之後,可能會影響後續的接續,這取決於為了接續而指定的 TaskContinuationOptions

已處置的接續將不會啟動。

接續和子工作

直到接續和所有附加的子工作完成後,前項才會執行。 接續不會等候中斷連結的子工作完成。 下列兩個範例說明會附加和卸離建立接續之前項的子工作。 在下列範例中,僅在所有子工作都已完成後,才會執行接續,且多次執行範例程序都會產生相同的輸出。 因為根據預設,Task.Run 方法會建立父工作,其預設工作建立選項是 TaskCreationOptions.DenyChildAttach,所以此範例會藉由呼叫 TaskFactory.StartNew 方法來啟動前項。

using System;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

public class AttachedExample
{
    public static async Task Main()
    {
        await Task.Factory

前項工作的最終狀態取決於任何附加子工作的最終狀態。 中斷連結的子工作狀態不會影響父代。 如需詳細資訊,請參閱附加與中斷連結的子工作

關聯具有接續的狀態

您可以將任意的狀態與工作接續相關聯。 ContinueWith 方法提供多載的版本,每個都會擷取代表接續狀態的 Object 值。 稍後您可以使用 Task.AsyncState 屬性來存取這個狀態物件。 如果您未提供值,則此狀態物件為 null

當您為使用 TPL 而轉換現有之使用 非同步程式設計模型 (APM) 的程式碼時,接續狀態會很有用。 在 APM 中,您會在 BeginMethod 方法中提供物件狀態,稍後您即可使用 IAsyncResult.AsyncState 屬性來存取該狀態。 當您轉換使用 APM 的程式碼為使用 TPL 時,若要保留此狀態,可使用 ContinueWith 方法,

當您使用 Visual Studio 偵錯工具中的 Task 物件時,接續狀態也相當有用。 例如,在 [平行工作] 視窗中,[工作] 資料行會顯示每項工作之狀態物件的字串表示。 如需 [平行工作] 視窗的詳細資訊,請參閱使用工作視窗

下列範例示範如何使用接續狀態。 它會建立接續工作的鏈結。 每個工作會為 DateTime 方法的 state 參數提供目前的時間,此為 ContinueWith 物件。 每個 DateTime 物件代表建立接續工作時的時間。 做為其結果,每一項工作會產生第二個 DateTime 物件,表示工作完成時的時間。 所有工作都完成之後,此範例會顯示建立時間,以及顯示每個接續工作完成的時間。

傳回工作類型的接續

有時候您可能需要鏈結傳回 Task 類型的接續。 這些工作稱為巢狀工作。 當父工作呼叫 Task<TResult>.ContinueWith 並提供傳回工作的 continuationFunction 時,您可以呼叫 Unwrap 來建立 Proxy 工作,此 Proxy 工作代表 <Task<Task<T>>>Task(Of Task(Of T)) (Visual Basic) 的非同步作業。

處理接續擲回的例外狀況

前項與接續的關聯性並非父子式關聯性。 接續擲回的例外狀況並不會傳播至前項。 因此,就如同您在其他工作中一樣地處理接續所擲回的例外狀況,如下所示:

  • 您可以使用 WaitWaitAllWaitAny 方法或是其泛型對應項目,用來等待接續。 您可以在相同的 try 陳述式中等待前項和其接續,如下列範例所示:

因為它以 TaskContinuationOptions.OnlyOnFaulted 選項執行,所以僅當前項中發生例外狀況時,接續才會執行。 因此可以假設前項的 Exception 屬性不是 null。 如果不論前項中是否擲回例外狀況都執行接續,則必須檢查是否前項的 Exception 屬性不是 null,之後才嘗試處理例外狀況,如下列程式碼片段所示:

var fileNotFound =
    antecedent.Exception
        ?.InnerExceptions
        ?.FirstOrDefault(e => e is FileNotFoundException) as FileNotFoundException;

if (fileNotFound != null)
{
    Console.WriteLine(fileNotFound.Message);
}
' Determine whether an exception occurred.
If antecedent.Exception IsNot Nothing Then
    ' Get the antecedent's exception information.
    For Each ex In antecedent.Exception.InnerExceptions
        If TypeOf ex Is FileNotFoundException
            Console.WriteLine(ex.Message)
        End If
    Next
End If
