所以这是古老的，但有一个更好的现代解决方案。不确定c#/的哪个版本。NET是必需的，但这是我怎么做的:

... Other method code not relevant to the question.

// a token source that will timeout at the specified interval, or if cancelled outside of this scope
using var timeoutTokenSource = new CancellationTokenSource(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(5));
using var linkedTokenSource = CancellationTokenSource.CreateLinkedTokenSource(token, timeoutTokenSource.Token);

async Task<MessageResource> FetchAsync()
{
    try
    {
        return await MessageResource.FetchAsync(m.Sid);
    } catch (TaskCanceledException e)
    {
        if (timeoutTokenSource.IsCancellationRequested)
            throw new TimeoutException("Timeout", e);
        throw;
    }
}

return await Task.Run(FetchAsync, linkedTokenSource.Token);

CancellationTokenSource构造函数接受一个TimeSpan参数，该参数将导致令牌在该间隔结束后取消。然后，您可以将异步(或者同步)代码包装到另一个Task调用中。运行，传递超时令牌。

这假设您正在传递一个取消令牌(令牌变量)。如果不需要在超时后单独取消任务，则可以直接使用timeoutTokenSource。否则，您将创建linkedTokenSource，它将在超时发生或以其他方式取消时取消。

然后，我们只捕获OperationCancelledException并检查是哪个令牌抛出了异常，如果超时导致引发异常，则抛出TimeoutException。否则，我们重新抛出。

此外，我在这里使用的是c# 7中引入的局部函数，但您可以很容易地使用lambda或实际函数来达到同样的效果。类似地，c# 8为使用语句引入了更简单的语法，但这些语法很容易重写。

使用定时器处理消息并自动取消。当Task完成时，对计时器调用Dispose，以便它们永远不会触发。这里有一个例子;将taskDelay改为500、1500或2500来查看不同的情况:

using System;
using System.Threading;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
    class Program
    {
        private static Task CreateTaskWithTimeout(
            int xDelay, int yDelay, int taskDelay)
        {
            var cts = new CancellationTokenSource();
            var token = cts.Token;
            var task = Task.Factory.StartNew(() =>
            {
                // Do some work, but fail if cancellation was requested
                token.WaitHandle.WaitOne(taskDelay);
                token.ThrowIfCancellationRequested();
                Console.WriteLine("Task complete");
            });
            var messageTimer = new Timer(state =>
            {
                // Display message at first timeout
                Console.WriteLine("X milliseconds elapsed");
            }, null, xDelay, -1);
            var cancelTimer = new Timer(state =>
            {
                // Display message and cancel task at second timeout
                Console.WriteLine("Y milliseconds elapsed");
                cts.Cancel();
            }
                , null, yDelay, -1);
            task.ContinueWith(t =>
            {
                // Dispose the timers when the task completes
                // This will prevent the message from being displayed
                // if the task completes before the timeout
                messageTimer.Dispose();
                cancelTimer.Dispose();
            });
            return task;
        }

        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            var task = CreateTaskWithTimeout(1000, 2000, 2500);
            // The task has been started and will display a message after
            // one timeout and then cancel itself after the second
            // You can add continuations to the task
            // or wait for the result as needed
            try
            {
                task.Wait();
                Console.WriteLine("Done waiting for task");
            }
            catch (AggregateException ex)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Error waiting for task:");
                foreach (var e in ex.InnerExceptions)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine(e);
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

此外，Async CTP提供了一个TaskEx。Delay方法，它将为您在任务中包装计时器。这可以给你更多的控制来做一些事情，比如设置TaskScheduler为Timer触发时的延续。

private static Task CreateTaskWithTimeout(
    int xDelay, int yDelay, int taskDelay)
{
    var cts = new CancellationTokenSource();
    var token = cts.Token;
    var task = Task.Factory.StartNew(() =>
    {
        // Do some work, but fail if cancellation was requested
        token.WaitHandle.WaitOne(taskDelay);
        token.ThrowIfCancellationRequested();
        Console.WriteLine("Task complete");
    });

    var timerCts = new CancellationTokenSource();

    var messageTask = TaskEx.Delay(xDelay, timerCts.Token);
    messageTask.ContinueWith(t =>
    {
        // Display message at first timeout
        Console.WriteLine("X milliseconds elapsed");
    }, TaskContinuationOptions.OnlyOnRanToCompletion);

    var cancelTask = TaskEx.Delay(yDelay, timerCts.Token);
    cancelTask.ContinueWith(t =>
    {
        // Display message and cancel task at second timeout
        Console.WriteLine("Y milliseconds elapsed");
        cts.Cancel();
    }, TaskContinuationOptions.OnlyOnRanToCompletion);

    task.ContinueWith(t =>
    {
        timerCts.Cancel();
    });

    return task;
}

下面是一个扩展方法版本，它包含了Andrew Arnott在对他的回答的评论中建议的，当原始任务完成时取消超时。

public static async Task<TResult> TimeoutAfter<TResult>(this Task<TResult> task, TimeSpan timeout) {

    using (var timeoutCancellationTokenSource = new CancellationTokenSource()) {

        var completedTask = await Task.WhenAny(task, Task.Delay(timeout, timeoutCancellationTokenSource.Token));
        if (completedTask == task) {
            timeoutCancellationTokenSource.Cancel();
            return await task;  // Very important in order to propagate exceptions
        } else {
            throw new TimeoutException("The operation has timed out.");
        }
    }
}

安德鲁·阿诺特(Andrew Arnott)回答的几个变体:

If you want to wait for an existing task and find out whether it completed or timed out, but don't want to cancel it if the timeout occurs: public static async Task<bool> TimedOutAsync(this Task task, int timeoutMilliseconds) { if (timeoutMilliseconds < 0 || (timeoutMilliseconds > 0 && timeoutMilliseconds < 100)) { throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException(); } if (timeoutMilliseconds == 0) { return !task.IsCompleted; // timed out if not completed } var cts = new CancellationTokenSource(); if (await Task.WhenAny( task, Task.Delay(timeoutMilliseconds, cts.Token)) == task) { cts.Cancel(); // task completed, get rid of timer await task; // test for exceptions or task cancellation return false; // did not timeout } else { return true; // did timeout } } If you want to start a work task and cancel the work if the timeout occurs: public static async Task<T> CancelAfterAsync<T>( this Func<CancellationToken,Task<T>> actionAsync, int timeoutMilliseconds) { if (timeoutMilliseconds < 0 || (timeoutMilliseconds > 0 && timeoutMilliseconds < 100)) { throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException(); } var taskCts = new CancellationTokenSource(); var timerCts = new CancellationTokenSource(); Task<T> task = actionAsync(taskCts.Token); if (await Task.WhenAny(task, Task.Delay(timeoutMilliseconds, timerCts.Token)) == task) { timerCts.Cancel(); // task completed, get rid of timer } else { taskCts.Cancel(); // timer completed, get rid of task } return await task; // test for exceptions or task cancellation } If you have a task already created that you want to cancel if a timeout occurs: public static async Task<T> CancelAfterAsync<T>(this Task<T> task, int timeoutMilliseconds, CancellationTokenSource taskCts) { if (timeoutMilliseconds < 0 || (timeoutMilliseconds > 0 && timeoutMilliseconds < 100)) { throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException(); } var timerCts = new CancellationTokenSource(); if (await Task.WhenAny(task, Task.Delay(timeoutMilliseconds, timerCts.Token)) == task) { timerCts.Cancel(); // task completed, get rid of timer } else { taskCts.Cancel(); // timer completed, get rid of task } return await task; // test for exceptions or task cancellation }

另一个注释是，如果超时没有发生，这些版本将取消计时器，因此多次调用不会导致计时器堆积。

在。net 6 (Preview 7)或更高版本中，有一个新的内置方法Task。WaitAsync来实现这一点。

// Using TimeSpan
await myTask.WaitAsync(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));

// Using CancellationToken
await myTask.WaitAsync(cancellationToken);

// Using both TimeSpan and CancellationToken
await myTask.WaitAsync(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10), cancellationToken);

如果任务在TimeSpan或CancellationToken之前没有完成，那么它会分别抛出TimeoutException或TaskCanceledException

try
{
    await myTask.WaitAsync(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10), cancellationToken);

}
catch (TaskCanceledException)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Task didn't get finished before the `CancellationToken`");
}
catch (TimeoutException)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Task didn't get finished before the `TimeSpan`");
}

为了它的乐趣，我做了一个“OnTimeout”扩展任务。超时时Task执行所需的内联lambda Action()并返回true，否则返回false。

public static async Task<bool> OnTimeout<T>(this T t, Action<T> action, int waitms) where T : Task
{
    if (!(await Task.WhenAny(t, Task.Delay(waitms)) == t))
    {
        action(t);
        return true;
    } else {
        return false;
    }
}

OnTimeout扩展返回一个bool结果，可以分配给一个变量，就像这个例子调用UDP套接字Async:

var t = UdpSocket.ReceiveAsync();

var timeout = await t.OnTimeout(task => {
    Console.WriteLine("No Response");
}, 5000);

在timeout lambda中可以访问“task”变量以进行更多处理。

Action接收对象的使用可能会启发其他各种扩展设计。
