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。

我觉得task . delay()任务和CancellationTokenSource在另一个紧密的网络循环中回答了我的用例。

尽管乔·霍格的《制作任务》MSDN博客上的TimeoutAfter方法是鼓舞人心的，出于同样的原因，我对使用TimeoutException进行流控制有点厌倦，因为超时比不超时更频繁。

所以我使用了这个，它也处理了博客中提到的优化:

public static async Task<bool> BeforeTimeout(this Task task, int millisecondsTimeout)
{
    if (task.IsCompleted) return true;
    if (millisecondsTimeout == 0) return false;

    if (millisecondsTimeout == Timeout.Infinite)
    {
        await Task.WhenAll(task);
        return true;
    }

    var tcs = new TaskCompletionSource<object>();

    using (var timer = new Timer(state => ((TaskCompletionSource<object>)state).TrySetCanceled(), tcs,
        millisecondsTimeout, Timeout.Infinite))
    {
        return await Task.WhenAny(task, tcs.Task) == task;
    }
}

一个示例用例如下:

var receivingTask = conn.ReceiveAsync(ct);

while (!await receivingTask.BeforeTimeout(keepAliveMilliseconds))
{
    // Send keep-alive
}

// Read and do something with data
var data = await receivingTask;

如果使用BlockingCollection来调度任务，生产者可以运行可能长时间运行的任务，消费者可以使用TryTake方法，该方法具有内置的超时和取消令牌。

我将这里的一些其他答案和另一个线程上的这个答案重新组合成一个try风格的扩展方法。如果您想要一个扩展方法，这有一个好处，同时避免超时时出现异常。

public static async Task<bool> TryWithTimeoutAfter<TResult>(this Task<TResult> task,
    TimeSpan timeout, Action<TResult> successor)
{

    using var timeoutCancellationTokenSource = new CancellationTokenSource();
    var completedTask = await Task.WhenAny(task, Task.Delay(timeout, timeoutCancellationTokenSource.Token))
                                  .ConfigureAwait(continueOnCapturedContext: false);

    if (completedTask == task)
    {
        timeoutCancellationTokenSource.Cancel();

        // propagate exception rather than AggregateException, if calling task.Result.
        var result = await task.ConfigureAwait(continueOnCapturedContext: false);
        successor(result);
        return true;
    }
    else return false;        
}     

async Task Example(Task<string> task)
{
    string result = null;
    if (await task.TryWithTimeoutAfter(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1), r => result = r))
    {
        Console.WriteLine(result);
    }
}    

你可以使用Task。WaitAny用于等待多个任务中的第一个。

您可以创建两个额外的任务(在指定的超时后完成)，然后使用WaitAny等待先完成的任务。如果最先完成的任务是你的“工作”任务，那么你就完成了。如果最先完成的任务是一个超时任务，那么您可以对超时做出反应(例如，请求取消)。

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`");
}
