How to cancel and raise an exception on Task.WhenAll if any exception is raised?

问题

I am waiting on multiples task using Task.WhenAll. When one of them generates an exception I would like Task.WhenAll (or any other way of awaiting multiples tasks) to immediately cancel the others tasks and raise an exception.

Is it possible?

Thanks in advance

Cancellation is coopertive the WhenAll can't cancel the threads but you can pass all of them a CancellationToken and fire the token when you get a exception.

CancellationTokenSource cts = new CancellationTokenSource();

var task1 = Func1Async(cts.Token);
task1.ContinueWith(task => cts.Cancel(), cts.Token, TaskContinuationOptions.OnlyOnFaulted, TaskScheduler.Default);
var task2 = Func2Async(cts.Token);
task2.ContinueWith(task => cts.Cancel(), cts.Token, TaskContinuationOptions.OnlyOnFaulted, TaskScheduler.Default);
var task3 = Func3Async(cts.Token);
task3.ContinueWith(task => cts.Cancel(), cts.Token, TaskContinuationOptions.OnlyOnFaulted, TaskScheduler.Default);

await Task.WhenAll(task1, task2, task3);

from inside the methods you will need to put token.ThrowIfCancellationRequested() inside the functions to check the token and cancel the task

public async Task Func1Async(CancellationToken token)
{
    foreach(var item in GetItems1())
    {
         await item.ProcessAsync(token);
         token.ThrowIfCancellationRequested();
    }
}

NOTE: You could clean up the code a bit by making a extension method

public static class ExtensionMethods
{
    public Task CancelOnFaulted(this Task task, CancellationTokenSource cts)
    {
        task.ContinueWith(task => cts.Cancel(), cts.Token, taskContinuationOptions.OnlyOnFaulted, TaskScheduler.Default);
        return task;
    }

    public Task<T> CancelOnFaulted<T>(this Task<T> task, CancellationTokenSource cts)
    {
        task.ContinueWith(task => cts.Cancel(), cts.Token, taskContinuationOptions.OnlyOnFaulted, TaskScheduler.Default);
        return task;
    }
}

This would make the code look like

CancellationTokenSource cts = new CancellationTokenSource();

var task1 = Func1Async(cts.Token).CancelOnFaulted(cts);
var task2 = Func2Async(cts.Token).CancelOnFaulted(cts);
var task3 = Func3Async(cts.Token).CancelOnFaulted(cts);

await Task.WhenAll(task1, task2, task3);
