Barrier Class
[ This article is for Windows Phone 8 developers. If you’re developing for Windows 10, see the latest documentation. ]
Enables multiple tasks to cooperatively work on an algorithm in parallel through multiple phases.
Assembly: System (in System.dll)
The Barrier type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Barrier(Int32) | Initializes a new instance of the Barrier class. |
![]() | Barrier(Int32, Action<Barrier>) | Initializes a new instance of the Barrier class. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | CurrentPhaseNumber | Gets the number of the barrier's current phase. |
![]() | ParticipantCount | Gets the total number of participants in the barrier. |
![]() | ParticipantsRemaining | Gets the number of participants in the barrier that haven’t yet signaled in the current phase. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | AddParticipant | Notifies the Barrier that there will be an additional participant. |
![]() | AddParticipants | Notifies the Barrier that there will be additional participants. |
![]() | Dispose() | Releases all resources used by the current instance of the Barrier class. |
![]() | Dispose(Boolean) | Releases the unmanaged resources used by the Barrier, and optionally releases the managed resources. |
![]() | Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | RemoveParticipant | Notifies the Barrier that there will be one less participant. |
![]() | RemoveParticipants | Notifies the Barrier that there will be fewer participants. |
![]() | SignalAndWait() | Signals that a participant has reached the barrier and waits for all other participants to reach the barrier as well. |
![]() | SignalAndWait(CancellationToken) | Signals that a participant has reached the barrier and waits for all other participants to reach the barrier, while observing a cancellation token. |
![]() | SignalAndWait(Int32) | Signals that a participant has reached the barrier and waits for all other participants to reach the barrier as well, using a 32-bit signed integer to measure the timeout. |
![]() | SignalAndWait(TimeSpan) | Signals that a participant has reached the barrier and waits for all other participants to reach the barrier as well, using a TimeSpan object to measure the time interval. |
![]() | SignalAndWait(Int32, CancellationToken) | Signals that a participant has reached the barrier and waits for all other participants to reach the barrier as well, using a 32-bit signed integer to measure the timeout, while observing a cancellation token. |
![]() | SignalAndWait(TimeSpan, CancellationToken) | Signals that a participant has reached the barrier and waits for all other participants to reach the barrier as well, using a TimeSpan object to measure the time interval, while observing a cancellation token. |
![]() | ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
