Timeout for Action in Parallel.ForEach iteration

Question

I have something similar to this in my code:

Parallel.ForEach(myList, new ParallelOptions { MaxDegreeOfParallelism = 4 }, item =>
{
    Process(item);
});
         


        

Answer 1

I ended up combining both options. It works but I don't know if this is the proper way to do this.

Solution:

        Parallel.ForEach(myList, new ParallelOptions { MaxDegreeOfParallelism = 4 }, item =>
        {
                var tokenSource = new CancellationTokenSource(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30));
                var token = tokenSource.Token;

                Task task = Task.Factory.StartNew(() => Process(item, token), token);
                task.Wait();
        });

and in Process() I check for cancellation multiple times:

    private void Process(MyItem item, CancellationToken token)
    {
        try
        {
            if (token.IsCancellationRequested)
                token.ThrowIfCancellationRequested();

            ...sentences

            if (token.IsCancellationRequested)
                token.ThrowIfCancellationRequested();

            ...more sentences

            if (token.IsCancellationRequested)
                token.ThrowIfCancellationRequested();

            ...etc
        }
        catch(Exception ex)
            Console.WriteLine("Operation cancelled");
