Interface for async scheduled tasks

Questions
1

I am using the interface IStartupTaskAsync in our application and now I want to run that task on a schedule instead - IE using the ITask interface. I could not find any async version of that - is it not possible to run an async task on schedule?

Best,

You can use the ITask interface and start a new task in the ExecuteTask method instead.

Example:

public void ExecuteTask(SecurityToken token, string parameters)
{
   Task.Factory.StartNew(ExecuteTaskAsync, new CancellationToken(), TaskCreationOptions.LongRunning, TaskScheduler.Default).Unwrap();
}

private Task ExecuteTaskAsync()

Hi!

Yeah I realize that I can do that but I was thinking about a possibility to have it async “all the way” to avoid using more resources then necessary.

This have been rebuilt for Litium 8 where the scheduled task is defined by an async contract.
