Parallel.Invoke Method (Action[])
Executes each of the provided actions, possibly in parallel.
Namespace: System.Threading.Tasks
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| ArgumentNullException | The actions argument is null. |
| AggregateException | The exception that is thrown when any action in the actions array throws an exception. |
| ArgumentException | The actions array contains a null element. |
This method can be used to execute a set of operations, potentially in parallel.
No guarantees are made about the order in which the operations execute or whether they execute in parallel. This method does not return until each of the provided operations has completed, regardless of whether completion occurs due to normal or exceptional termination.
For more information, see How to: Use Parallel.Invoke to Execute Parallel Operations.
This example demonstrates how to use the Invokemethod with other methods, anonymous delegates, and lambda expressions.
