[FlagsAttribute]
public enum VsTaskCreationOptions

Member nameDescription
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.

CancelWithParent

Cancels the task when its parent is canceled.

DenyChildAttach

A child task cannot be attached to the task.

LongRunning

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

None

The default behavior should be used.

NotCancelable

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

PreferFairness

A hint to a TaskScheduler 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.
