Stephen Toub - MSFT

(The full set of ParallelExtensionsExtras Tour posts is available here.) In our previous ParallelExtensionsExtras tour post, we discussed a custom implementation of the LINQ operators, in particular for working with Task<TResult> instances in an asynchronous manner. There is already an impressive implementation of the ...
