ForEach(TSource, TLocal) Method (IEnumerable(TSource), ParallelOptions, Func(TLocal), Func(TSource, ParallelLoopState, Int64, TLocal, TLocal), Action(TLocal))

Task Parallel System.Threading

Executes a for each operation on an IEnumerable<(Of <(TSource>)>) in which iterations may run in parallel.

Namespace:  System.Threading.Tasks
Assembly:  System.Threading (in System.Threading.dll)

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Shared Function ForEach(Of TSource, TLocal) ( _
	source As IEnumerable(Of TSource), _
	parallelOptions As ParallelOptions, _
	localInit As Func(Of TLocal), _
	body As Func(Of TSource, ParallelLoopState, Long, TLocal, TLocal), _
	localFinally As Action(Of TLocal) _
) As ParallelLoopResult
C#
public static ParallelLoopResult ForEach<TSource, TLocal>(
	IEnumerable<TSource> source,
	ParallelOptions parallelOptions,
	Func<TLocal> localInit,
	Func<TSource, ParallelLoopState, long, TLocal, TLocal> body,
	Action<TLocal> localFinally
)

Parameters

source
Type: System.Collections.Generic..::.IEnumerable<(Of <(TSource>)>)
An enumerable data source.
parallelOptions
Type: System.Threading.Tasks..::.ParallelOptions
A ParallelOptions instance that configures the behavior of this operation.
localInit
Type: System..::.Func<(Of <(TLocal>)>)
The function delegate that returns the initial state of the local data for each thread.
body
Type: System..::.Func<(Of <(TSource, ParallelLoopState, Int64, TLocal, TLocal>)>)
The delegate that is invoked once per iteration.
localFinally
Type: System..::.Action<(Of <(TLocal>)>)
The delegate that performs a final action on the local state of each thread.

Type Parameters

TSource
The type of the data in the source.
TLocal
The type of the thread-local data.

Return Value

A ParallelLoopResult structure that contains information on what portion of the loop completed.

Remarks

The body delegate is invoked once for each element in the source enumerable. It is provided with the following parameters: the current element, a ParallelLoopState instance that may be used to break out of the loop prematurely, the current element's index (an Int64), and some local state that may be shared amongst iterations that execute on the same thread.

The localInit delegate is invoked once for each thread that participates in the loop's execution and returns the initial local state for each of those threads. These initial states are passed to the first body invocations on each thread. Then, every subsequent body invocation returns a possibly modified state value that is passed to the next body invocation. Finally, the last body invocation on each thread returns a state value that is passed to the localFinally delegate. The localFinally delegate is invoked once per thread to perform a final action on each thread's local state.
