How to cancel a CancellationToken

Question

I start a task, that start other tasks and so forth.
Given that tree, if any task fails the result of the whole operation is useless. I\'m considering using cancellation tok

Answer 1

Spawn CancellationToken instances from a CancellationTokenSource instance and call Cancel on the CTS instance.

There's also a way to gracefully cancel threads without them firing exceptions, just check the CT for IsCancellationRequested and handle the case yourself. More info: Use of IsCancellationRequested property?
