Assembly:  Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Common (in Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Common.dll)

Syntax

public Task ExecuteAsync(
    Func<Task> taskAction,
    CancellationToken cancellationToken
)

public:
Task^ ExecuteAsync(
    Func<Task^>^ taskAction,
    CancellationToken cancellationToken
)

member ExecuteAsync : 
        taskAction:Func<Task> *
        cancellationToken:CancellationToken -> Task

Public Function ExecuteAsync (
    taskAction As Func(Of Task),
    cancellationToken As CancellationToken
) As Task

Parameters

• taskAction
  Type: System.Func<Task>

  A function that returns a started task (also known as "hot" task).

• cancellationToken
  Type: System.Threading.CancellationToken

  The token used to cancel the retry operation. This token does not cancel the execution of the asynchronous task.

Return Value

Type: System.Threading.Tasks.Task

Returns a task that will run to completion if the original task completes successfully (either the first time or after retrying transient failures). If the task fails with a non-transient error or the retry limit is reached, the returned task will transition to a faulted state and the exception must be observed.
