This PR fixes a documentation typo in the
Task.WhenAnymethod remarks that was causing confusion about the return value.Problem
The documentation incorrectly stated:
This wording is misleading because the result value is not literally
true- it's the first task to complete. The sentence was trying to convey that the behavior described (setting Result to the first task) is true regardless of the task's completion state.Solution
Changed the wording to:
This clarifies that the statement refers to the behavior being true, not the result value being the boolean
true.Changes Made
WhenAny(Task task1, Task task2)methodWhenAny<TResult>(Task<TResult> task1, Task<TResult> task2)method/xml/System.Threading.Tasks/Task.xmlThe fix makes the documentation consistent with other
WhenAnyoverloads that already use the correct wording.Fixes #11350.
