public enum __VSTASKCREATIONOPTIONS

Member nameDescription
VSTCRO_AttachedToParent

Creates the task as attached to the currently-running task. The parent task is not marked as completed until this child task is completed as well.

VSTCRO_DenyChildAttach

A child task cannot be attached to the task.

VSTCRO_LongRunning

The task will be a long-running, coarse-grained operation. It provides a hint to the task library that oversubscription may be warranted. For background tasks, this member causes the task to run its own thread instead of the thread pool.

VSTCRO_None

The default behavior should be used.

VSTCRO_NotCancelable

The task cannot be canceled. Users will get an exception if they try to cancel the task.

VSTCRO_PreferFairness

A hint to the task library to schedule a task in as fair a manner as possible, meaning that tasks scheduled sooner will be more likely to be run sooner, and tasks scheduled later will be more likely to be run later.
