C # Libraries for Temporary Activities

Question

Do you know about any C # libraries that allow you to consistently series of actions, i.e. each action is performed when the previous one is completed, or even better, after a certain time interval.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Take a look at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd537609.aspx

The Task.ContinueWith let function, you specify the task to be run when the antecedent task is completed.

Example

var task = Task.Factory.StartNew(() => GetFileData()) .ContinueWith((x) => Analyze(x.Result)) .ContinueWith((y) => Summarize(y.Result)); 

Answer 2

for timing quartz.net . for synchronization of actions use, for example. events waithandles , Monitor.Wait() and Monitor.Pulse() ...

otherwise, you can handle many actions, for example

 var methods = new List<Func> { FooMethod1, FooMethod2 } foreach (var method in methods) { method.Invoke(); } 

but this only makes sense if you do not have a moderator method (sequential processing) or your methods should not know about each other.

Answer 3

For scheduled tasks, you are looking for a library that supports cron jobs. Here is the one I used in the project.

There are many libraries. I found that many of them are rich and a little heavy.

Hope this helps.
