In this lab, you have worked with the Parallel Extensions library to understand its features to help you work with parallel tasks in a simple, controllable fashion. You�ve learned how to use Parallel Extensions classes like Parallel and Task to manage units of work. You�ve dealt with Parallel Extensions features like Wait(), WaitAll(), IsComplete(), and ContinueWith() to control the flow of your execution. You�ve also worked through examples of using PLINQ to deal with parallelizing queries.
