.NET Framework Class Library
AsyncCompletedEventArgs..::.Cancelled Property

Gets a value indicating whether an asynchronous operation has been canceled.

Namespace:  System.ComponentModel
Assembly:  System (in System.dll)
Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public ReadOnly Property Cancelled As Boolean
Visual Basic (Usage)
Dim instance As AsyncCompletedEventArgs
Dim value As Boolean

value = instance.Cancelled
C#
public bool Cancelled { get; }
Visual C++
public:
property bool Cancelled {
    bool get ();
}
JScript
public function get Cancelled () : boolean

Property Value

Type: System..::.Boolean
true if the background operation has been canceled; otherwise false. The default is false.
Remarks

When the Cancelled property is true, the asynchronous operation was interrupted.

The client application's event-handler delegate should check the Cancelled property before accessing any properties in a class derived from AsyncCompletedEventArgs; otherwise, the property will raise an InvalidOperationException if the asynchronous operation was interrupted.

Notes to Inheritors:

If you provide read-only properties in a derived class, be sure to call the RaiseExceptionIfNecessary method. This prevents clients from accessing properties that are potentially not valid due to a failure in the asynchronous operation.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates the using an AsyncOperation to track the lifetime of asynchronous operations. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the System.ComponentModel..::.AsyncOperationManager class.
