CoreTaskExtensionsSelect Method (Task, ActionTask)
Synchronously execute a continuation when a task completes successfully.

Namespace: Rackspace.Threading
Assembly: Rackspace.Threading (in Rackspace.Threading.dll) Version: 2.1.0-beta1
Syntax
public static Task Select(
	this Task task,
	Action<Task> continuationAction
)

Parameters

task
Type: System.Threading.TasksTask
The antecedent task.
continuationAction
Type: SystemActionTask
The continuation action to execute when task completes successfully.

Return Value

Type: Task
A Task representing the asynchronous operation.

Usage Note

In Visual Basic and C#, you can call this method as an instance method on any object of type Task. When you use instance method syntax to call this method, omit the first parameter. For more information, see Extension Methods (Visual Basic) or Extension Methods (C# Programming Guide).
Exceptions
ExceptionCondition
ArgumentNullException

If task is .

-or-

If continuationAction is .

Remarks

This code implements support for the following construct without requiring the use of /.

C#
await task.ConfigureAwait(false);
continuationAction(task);

If the antecedent task is canceled or faulted, the status of the antecedent is directly applied to the task returned by this method; it is not wrapped in an additional AggregateException.

Note Notes to Callers

Since the continuation is executed synchronously, this method should only be used for lightweight continuation actions. For non-trivial continuation actions, use a Task for the continuation operation and call Then(Task, FuncTask, Task) instead.
