Creates a continuation that executes according to the specified TaskContinuationOptions.
Namespace: System.Threading.Tasks
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
public Task ContinueWith(
Action<Task> continuationAction,
TaskContinuationOptions continuationOptions
)
Parameters
- continuationAction
- Type: System.Action<Task>
An action to run according to the specified continuationOptions. When run, the delegate will be passed the completed task as an argument.
- continuationOptions
- Type: System.Threading.Tasks.TaskContinuationOptions
Options for when the continuation is scheduled and how it behaves. This includes criteria, such as OnlyOnCanceled, as well as execution options, such as ExecuteSynchronously.
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| ObjectDisposedException | The Task has been disposed. |
| ArgumentNullException | The continuationAction argument is null. |
| ArgumentOutOfRangeException | The continuationOptions argument specifies an invalid value for TaskContinuationOptions. |
The returned Task will not be scheduled for execution until the current task has completed. If the continuation criteria specified through the continuationOptions parameter are not met, the continuation task will be canceled instead of scheduled.
The following example demonstrates using TaskContinuationOptions to specify that a continuation task should run synchronously when the antecedent task completes. (If the specified task has already completed by the time ContinueWith is called, the synchronous continuation will run on the thread calling ContinueWith.)

}
