Is catching TaskCanceledException and checking Task.Canceled a good idea?

Question

There are some people on my team who really love coding with async Task. And sometimes they like to use CancellationToken parameters.

Answer 1

In the .Net framework itself when you pass a CancellationToken as a parameter you will get back a TaskCanceledException. I would not go against that and create my own design pattern because people who are familiar with .Net will be familiar with your code.

My guideline is this: The one that cancels the token is the one that should handle the TaskCanceledException, so If you're using a CancellationToken inside your method for your own reasons, go ahead and use a try-catch block. But if you get the token as a parameter, let the exception be thrown.
