entity framework cancel long running query

Question

I am new to the TPL. I am using the TPL to make some async calls to the database. Below the GetDocumentAsync method is called multiple times and do a good job at offloading

Answer 1

Async support is part of the upcoming EF6.

Check out KSA's related blog post for an overview.

With that, you'll switch to ToListAsync with a cancellation token.
