When using tasks for large/long running workloads that I need to be able to cancel I often use a template similar to this for the action the task executes:

Answer 1

C# 6.0 has a solution for this..Filtering exception

int denom;

try
{
     denom = 0;
    int x = 5 / denom;
}

// Catch /0 on all days but Saturday

catch (DivideByZeroException xx) when (DateTime.Now.DayOfWeek != DayOfWeek.Saturday)
{
     Console.WriteLine(xx);
}
