TryRemoveAsync Method

TryRemoveAsync(TKey, TimeSpan)

Tries to remove the entry with the given key from this map within the specified time to wait value.

Declaration

Task<bool> TryRemoveAsync(TKey key, TimeSpan timeToWait = default(TimeSpan))

Parameters

TKey	key	A key.
TimeSpan	timeToWait	How long to wait for a lock on the key (-1ms to wait forever; 0ms to not wait at all).

Returns

Task<Boolean>

true if the entry was removed; otherwise false.

Remarks

If the key is already locked by another thread and/or member, then this operation will wait for the timeToWait for acquiring the lock. If the key is still locked, this operation returns false. If timeToWait is -1ms, waits forever. If it is 0ms, does not wait at all.

The operation also returns false when no entry with the specified key exists.
