BetterTasks

A rewrite of the C# Task system. Performs about 10% faster than the built-in Task system.

Installation

Add the .dll file as a dependency for your project.

Usage

Import the package:

using BetterTasks;

There are two ways to create and run a BetterTask:

BetterTask task = new BetterTask(() => Console.WriteLine("Hello World!"));
task.Start();

BetterTask task = BetterTask.Run(() => Console.WriteLine("Hello World!"));

BetterTask is designed to work as similarly as possible to Task. .ContinueWith(Action action) and .Wait() both work. However, it has a few extra features:

Passing the Task as a Parameter When passing a delegate to a BetterTask, it can take a parameter that will be the BetterTask.

BetterTask.Run((task) => Console.WriteLine(task));

Abort BetterTask can be aborted with the .Abort() method.

Cancel BetterTask can be cancelled with the .Cancel() method. The IsCanceled property will be true after this method is called. Actions should check if IsCanceled is true and shut down if it is.

ForceCancel The .ForceCancel(int timeout = 2000) method calls .Cancel(), then after timeout milliseconds, if the task has not shut down, calls .Abort().

Task Priority BetterTask's constructors have an optional parameter, priority, of type ThreadPriority, which defaults to ThreadPriority.Normal. Whichever thread executes the task will be set to this priority while executing the task.
