How do I handle cancellation tokens in my application?

Cancellation tokens are used to signal that an operation should be canceled. You can create a cancellation token source and pass its token to the operation.

What happens if the operation is already running when I cancel it?

If the operation is already running, it should check the cancellation token periodically and throw an exception if cancellation is requested.

How can I catch errors related to cancellation?

You can catch the specific exception thrown when an operation is canceled, typically OperationCanceledException, to handle it gracefully.

Can I use cancellation tokens with async methods?

Yes, cancellation tokens work well with async methods. Just pass the token to the async method and check for cancellation within the method.
