Type Parameters

TSource

The type of the data in the source.

TLocal

The type of the thread-local data.

Parameters

source
IEnumerable<TSource>

An enumerable data source.

parallelOptions
ParallelOptions

An object that configures the behavior of this operation.

localInit
Func<TLocal>

The function delegate that returns the initial state of the local data for each task.

body
Func<TSource,ParallelLoopState,TLocal,TLocal>

The delegate that is invoked once per iteration.

localFinally
Action<TLocal>

The delegate that performs a final action on the local state of each task.

Returns

A structure that contains information about which portion of the loop completed.

Exceptions

The source argument is null.

-or-

The parallelOptions argument is null.

-or-

The body argument is null.

-or-

The localInit argument is null.

-or-

The localFinally argument is null.

The CancellationToken in the parallelOptions argument is canceled.

The CancellationTokenSource associated with the CancellationToken in the parallelOptions has been disposed.

The exception that contains all the individual exceptions thrown on all threads.

Remarks

The body delegate is invoked once for each element in the source enumerable. It is provided with the following parameters: the current element, a ParallelLoopState instance that may be used to break out of the loop prematurely, and some local state that may be shared amongst iterations that execute on the same thread.

The localInit delegate is invoked once for each task that participates in the loop's execution and returns the initial local state for each of those tasks. These initial states are passed to the first body invocations on each task. Then, every subsequent body invocation returns a possibly modified state value that is passed to the next body invocation. Finally, the last body invocation on each task returns a state value that is passed to the localFinally delegate. The localFinally delegate is invoked once per thread to perform a final action on each task's local state. This delegate might be invoked concurrently on multiple tasks; therefore, you must synchronize access to any shared variables.

The Parallel.ForEach method may use more tasks than threads over the lifetime of its execution, as existing tasks complete and are replaced by new tasks. This gives the underlying TaskScheduler object the chance to add, change, or remove threads that service the loop.

Partitioners must support dynamic partitions. For more information, see Custom Partitioners for PLINQ and TPL and How to: Implement Dynamic Partitions.

Remarks

The body delegate is invoked once for each element in the source enumerable. It is provided with the following parameters: the current element, a ParallelLoopState instance that may be used to break out of the loop prematurely, and some local state that may be shared amongst iterations that execute on the same thread.

The localInit delegate is invoked once for each task that participates in the loop's execution and returns the initial local state for each of those tasks. These initial states are passed to the first body invocations on each task. Then, every subsequent body invocation returns a possibly modified state value that is passed to the next body invocation. Finally, the last body invocation on each task returns a state value that is passed to the localFinally delegate. The localFinally delegate is invoked once per thread to perform a final action on each task's local state. This delegate might be invoked concurrently on multiple tasks; therefore, you must synchronize access to any shared variables.

The Parallel.ForEach method may use more tasks than threads over the lifetime of its execution, as existing tasks complete and are replaced by new tasks. This gives the underlying TaskScheduler object the chance to add, change, or remove threads that service the loop.

Finally, the last body invocation on each task returns a state value that is passed to the localFinally delegate.

Remarks

This overload is provided for scenarios where you want to override the default partitioning scheme. For example, small loop bodies might benefit from partitioning the range. The Parallel.ForEach method expects custom partitioners to support dynamic partitioning. For more information, see Custom Partitioners for PLINQ and TPL and How to: Implement Dynamic Partitions.

Examples

The following example uses the ForEach<TSource>(IEnumerable<TSource>, Action<TSource>) method to count the number of vowels and non-white-space characters in a text file. In this case, the ParallelLoopResult value returned by the method is ignored. Note that, because operations can run in parallel, you must ensure that incrementing the counter variables is an atomic operation, and that multiple threads do not attempt to access the counter variables simultaneously. For this purpose, the example uses the lock statement (in C#) and the SyncLock statement (in Visual Basic).
