Public / Methods

AcquireTry

Acquires a strong reference to this disposable object.

[OwnerReturn, ThreadSafe]
public method AcquireTry ()
type IDisposable
returns this if a new strong reference has been acquired, null if this object is already being disposed.
inherited Disposable.AcquireTry

Remarks:

The object will not be actually disposed by calls to Dispose when there is at least one strong reference left. Code that calls the AcquireTry method is responsible for calling the Dispose method accordingly.

This method is not intended to be used in performance-critical code. It should only be used to high-level resource management.

Cancel

Cancels all queued tasks in this group and optionally waits for all pending ones to terminate.

[ThreadSafe]
public method Cancel (bool wait)
params wait true to wait for pending group tasks, false to return immediately.

Dispose

Releases all resources held by this object if there are no more strong references to it, decrements the reference counter by one otherwise.

[Dispose, OwnerThis, ThreadSafe]
public method Dispose ()
inherited Disposable.Dispose

Remarks:

The Dispose method silently returns if the object has already been disposed.

RunSynchronized

Runs all pending tasks in this given group that are flagged with Synchronized in the callers thread.

[ThreadSafe]
public method RunSynchronized ()
type bool
returns true if at least one task has been run, false if there are no pending tasks.

ToString

[Pure]
public override method ToString ()
type string
