Create a completed Task

by

When targeting .NET 4.5 you can use Task.FromResult:

public static Task<TResult> FromResult<TResult>(TResult result);

To create a failed task, use Task.FromException:

public static Task FromException(Exception exception);
public static Task<TResult> FromException<TResult>(Exception exception);

.NET 4.6 adds Task.CompletedTask if you need a non generic Task.

public static Task CompletedTask { get; }

Workarounds for older versions of .NET:

  • When targeting .NET 4.0 with Async Targetting Pack (or AsyncCTP) you can use TaskEx.FromResult instead.

  • To get non-generic Task prior to .NET 4.6, you can use the fact that Task<T> derives from Task and just call Task.FromResult<object>(null) or Task.FromResult(0).
