What is the difference between Task and TaskEx ?

Question

Hello,

can you please tell what is the difference between Task and TaskEx ?

Answer 1

TaskEx is a class that exists only in the CTP, since there was no way to add extra methods to the existing Task class in the Framework (as the CTP is implemented using a separate assembly).

It will not exist in the final, RTM version of the framework.  The methods defined on TaskEx will be migrated to Task.
