The TPL Dataflow Library (TDF) from Microsoft DevLabs provides an additional method of managing asynchronous execution in .NET. Fortunately, like many of the other choices, it’s built on the same underlying constructs (primarily the Task object), allowing integration with existing solutions. One of the points of integration is provided by the IObservable and IObserver interfaces which form the basis for the Reactive Extensions.
The basic concept of TDF involves chaining together blocks that do some processing on each data item as it flows through the chain. Blocks can be sources (ISourceBlock) or targets (ITargetBlock) or a combination of both (IPropagatorBlock).
The most straightforward combination of Rx and TDF involves transforming the output of a source block into an observable sequence Continue reading
Great event at a new location! I hope everyone enjoyed it.
