How to execute task in the wpf background while able to provide report and allow cancellation?

I thought I answered your question here. If you need more sample code on how to do this using Task Parallel Library, with CancellationTokenSource and IProgress<T>, here it is:

Action _cancelWork;

private async void StartButton_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    this.StartButton.IsEnabled = false;
    this.StopButton.IsEnabled = true;
    try
    {
        var cancellationTokenSource = new CancellationTokenSource();

        this._cancelWork = () => 
        {
            this.StopButton.IsEnabled = false;
            cancellationTokenSource.Cancel();
         };

        var limit = 10;

        var progressReport = new Progress<int>((i) => 
            this.TextBox.Text = (100 * i / (limit-1)).ToString() + "%");

        var token = cancellationTokenSource.Token;

        await Task.Run(() =>
            DoWork(limit, token, progressReport), 
            token);
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
    }
    this.StartButton.IsEnabled = true;
    this.StopButton.IsEnabled = false;
    this._cancelWork = null;
}

private void StopButton_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    this._cancelWork?.Invoke();
}

private int DoWork(
    int limit, 
    CancellationToken token,
    IProgress<int> progressReport)
{
    var progress = 0;

    for (int i = 0; i < limit; i++)
    {
        progressReport.Report(progress++);
        Thread.Sleep(2000); // simulate a work item
        token.ThrowIfCancellationRequested();
    }
    return limit;
}
