How to Fix: Asynchronously wait for Task<T> to complete with timeout

Example Code:

var task = new Task(() => { /* your code here */ }); var cancellationTokenSource = new CancellationTokenSource(1000); // 1 second timeout var continuation = task.ContinueWith(t => { if (!cancellationTokenSource.IsCancellationRequested) { /* handle completed task */ } else { /* request cancellation */ } }, cancellationTokenSource.Token);

💡 Explanation

In this example, we create a new Task and a CancellationTokenSource with a 1-second timeout. We then use the ContinueWith method to specify an action that will be executed when the task completes or is cancelled. If the task completes within the specified timeout, the continuation will handle the completed task. If the task is cancelled before completing, the continuation will request cancellation.

💡 Conclusion

By using Task.ContinueWith with a CancellationTokenSource, you can asynchronously wait for a Task<T> to complete with timeout and handle cancellation requests.
