TaskScheduler Class
[ This article is for Windows Phone 8 developers. If you’re developing for Windows 10, see the latest documentation. ]
Represents an object that handles the low-level work of queuing tasks onto threads.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
The TaskScheduler type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
  | Current | Gets the TaskScheduler associated with the currently executing task. |
| Default | Gets the default TaskScheduler instance that is provided by the .NET Framework. |
| Id | Gets the unique ID for this TaskScheduler. |
| MaximumConcurrencyLevel | Indicates the maximum concurrency level this TaskScheduler is able to support. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | 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.) |
| FromCurrentSynchronizationContext | Creates a TaskScheduler associated with the current System.Threading::SynchronizationContext. |
| GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetScheduledTasks | Security Critical. For debugger support only, generates an enumerable of Task instances currently queued to the scheduler waiting to be executed. |
| GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
| MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| QueueTask | Security Critical. Queues a Task to the scheduler. |
| ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| TryDequeue | Security Critical. Attempts to dequeue a Task that was previously queued to this scheduler. |
| TryExecuteTask | Security Critical. Attempts to execute the provided Task on this scheduler. |
| TryExecuteTaskInline | Security Critical. Determines whether the provided Task can be executed synchronously in this call, and if it can, executes it. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | UnobservedTaskException | Occurs when a faulted Task's unobserved exception is about to trigger exception escalation policy, which, by default, would terminate the process. |
TaskScheduler acts as the extension point for all pluggable scheduling logic. This includes mechanisms such as how to schedule a task for execution, and how scheduled tasks should be exposed to debuggers.
