I have just updated the Visual Studio to 17.4.4.
In the following code Thread fires cross-thread exception but Task doesn't. In the Start Without Debugging, Task still does nothing and Thread halts the application.
How to force Task fires cross-thread exception not to miss it?
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
CheckForIllegalCrossThreadCalls = true;
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Task task = new(Method1);
task.Start(); // does not change Text and does not fire exception
}
private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Thread thread = new(Method1);
thread.Start(); // fires exception
}
void Method1()
{
Text = "a";
}
This is by design. When a
Task
fails, the exception is captured in itsException
property. The error is not propagated as an unhandled exception that crashes the process. In case you find the process-crashing behavior desirable, you can make it happen byawait
ing the task on theThreadPool
