Is there a Future<T> type in .NET?

Question

My Google-fu is failing me -- Is there a Future<T> type in .NET?

I thought I remembered seeing some code for that, but maybe I was reading Java....

By the way, my musing started after reading This Article

Answer 1

Future<T> is a part of the Task Parallel Library and was renamed to Task<TResult> in beta 1.
