TryPutAsync Method

TryPutAsync(TKey, TValue, TimeSpan)

Tries to set (add or update) an entry.

Declaration

Task<bool> TryPutAsync(TKey key, TValue value, TimeSpan timeToWait)

Parameters

TKey	key	A key.
TValue	value	A value.
TimeSpan	timeToWait	How long to wait (-1ms to wait forever; 0ms to not wait at all).

Returns

Task<Boolean>

true if the entry was set; otherwise false.

Remarks

If the entry is not immediately available, because a lock is set on the key, this will wait for the specified timeToWait for the lock. If the lock cannot be acquired in time, returns null. If timeToWait is -1ms, waits forever. If it is 0ms, does not wait at all.
