Handling the TPL AggregateException exception
In C#, the Task Parallel Library (TPL) provides a convenient way to work with parallelism and asynchronous operations. When you are working with asynchronous tasks, it’s common to use Task.WhenAll
or Task.WhenAny
to wait for the completion of multiple tasks. However, if any of those tasks throw an exception, the TPL will wrap those exceptions in the AggregateException
exception. Let us look at some best practices for handling AggregateException
in the context of the TPL.
Use await with try-catch inside async methods
When working with asynchronous code, it’s common to use the await
keyword to wait for the completion of tasks. Inside asynchronous methods, you can use a try
-catch
block to catch exceptions:
try{ await Task.WhenAll(task1, task2, task3); } catch (AggregateException ex) { // Handle or log the exceptions foreach (var innerException in...
