TaskCompletionSource is a C# class that provides a way to create and control tasks manually. It is useful when you have asynchronous operations that do not use the common patterns found in the .NET framework.
TryComplete is a method of the TaskCompletionSource class that attempts to transition the underlying task to the completed state. If the operation succeeds, the result of the task is set to the provided value. Otherwise, the method returns false, indicating that the task is already completed or has been disposed.
Here are some examples of using TryComplete with TaskCompletionSource:
1. Completing a task with a result value:
var tcs = new TaskCompletionSource();
if (someCondition)
{
tcs.TryComplete(42);
}
In this example, we create a new TaskCompletionSource and check if a certain condition is met. If it is, we call TryComplete with a value of 42, which sets the result of the underlying task to 42.
