Task

Task

Server-Side Function

Server-Side	C#

Runs thread-safe API calls on asynchronous threads.

This can also be just used to delay certain tasks.

Syntax

void NAPI.Task.Run(Action task, long delayTime = 0);

Optional:

• delayTime: parameter input should be in long type, default value: 0,
• Param description: delay time in milliseconds.

Usage example(s)

Non-Threaded

• Delaying task invocation

NAPI.Task.Run(() => 
{ 
    // Some code
}, delayTime: 2000);

Threaded

• Non-delayed task invocation

System.Threading.Tasks.Task.Run(() => 
{ 
    NAPI.Task.Run(() => 
    { 
        // Some non-thread safe API methods
    }); 
});

---

• Delaying task invocation (non thread blocking)

System.Threading.Tasks.Task.Run(() => 
{ 
    NAPI.Task.Run(() => 
    { 
        // Some non-thread safe API methods
    }, delayTime: 2000); // delay time in ms
});

---

• Delaying task invocation (async thread blocking)

System.Threading.Tasks.Task.Run(() => 
{ 
    await System.Threading.Tasks.Task.Delay(2000); // Blocks the thread for 2 seconds before running the rest of the code
    NAPI.Task.Run(() => 
    { 
        // Some non-thread safe API methods
    });
});

Note

System.Threading.Tasks could be simplified by adding the following at the top of your code

using System.Threading.Tasks;
