ParallelLoopState.Stop Method

Communicates that the Parallel loop should cease execution at the system's earliest convenience.

Namespace:  System.Threading.Tasks
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
public void Stop()
Exception Condition
InvalidOperationException

The Break method was previously called. Break and Stop may not be used in combination by iterations of the same loop.

Stop may be used to communicate to the loop that no other iterations need be run.

For long-running iterations that may already be executing, Stop causes IsStopped to return true for all other iterations of the loop, such that another iteration may check IsStopped and exit early if it's observed to be true.

Stop is typically employed in search-based algorithms, where once a result is found, no other iterations need be executed.
