The TPL Dataflow Library (System.Threading.Tasks.Dataflow namespace) is not distributed with the .NET Framework 4.5.

DataflowLinkOptions is mutable and can be configured through its properties.
When specific configuration options are not set, the following defaults are used:
Options | Default |
|---|---|
PropagateCompletion | False |
MaxMessages | DataflowBlockOptions.Unbounded (-1) |
Append | True |
Dataflow blocks capture the state of the options at linking. Subsequent changes to the provided DataflowLinkOptions instance should not affect the behavior of a link.
