LongRunningTaskManager

Purpose

LongRunningTaskManager is the place to run heavier actions without blocking the UI. It is especially useful for imports, plugin creation, exports and other repetitive loops where progress should be shown to the user.

Typical usage

[CommandHandler]
public async void InsertPlugins()
{
    try
    {
        if (PurchaseOrders == null || PurchaseOrders.Any() == false)
        {
            return;
        }

        await LongRunningTaskManager.Instance.RunAsync(token =>
        {
            new PluginCreator(PurchaseOrders, PurchaseOrder).Create();
        });

        RaisePropertyChanged(nameof(PurchaseOrder));
    }
    catch (Exception e)
    {
        this.LogError($"Error in {nameof(InsertPlugins)} in {nameof(DashboardControlViewModel)}", e);
    }
}

Progress scope pattern

var progress = LongRunningTaskManagerExtensions.Scope(20, 90, _purchaseOrders.Count);

for (var i = 0; i < _purchaseOrders.Count; i++)
{
    progress.Step($"Plaatsen van {purchaseOrderLine.ProductOption.Name}");
}

progress.Done();
