Summary
In this chapter, we learned a number of new ways to cancel background threads and tasks. It is important to provide your users with a method of canceling long-running tasks or automatically canceling them when users or the operating system closes or suspends your application.
After working through the examples in this chapter, you now understand how to use polling, callbacks, and wait handles to cooperatively cancel background tasks. Additionally, you learned how to handle cancellation requests from more than one source.
In the next chapter, we will look at how .NET developers can unit test code that employs multithreaded constructs.
