- Task
The first task to wait on for completion.
- task2

The second task to wait on for completion.
Returns
A new task that represents the completion of one of the supplied tasks. Its Result is the task that completed first.
Exceptions
task1 or task2 was null.
Remarks
The returned task will complete when any of the supplied tasks has completed. The returned task will always end in the RanToCompletion state with its Result set to the first task to complete. The result value is true even if the first task to complete ended in the Canceled or Faulted state.

- TResult
The type of the result of the returned task.
Parameters
- task1
- Task<TResult>
The first task to wait on for completion.
- task2
- Task<TResult>
The second task to wait on for completion.
Returns
A task that represents the completion of one of the supplied tasks. The returned task's TResult is the task that completed first.
Exceptions
task1 or task2 was null.
Remarks
The returned task will complete when any of the supplied tasks has completed. The returned task will always end in the RanToCompletion state with its Result set to the first task to complete. The result value is true even if the first task to complete ended in the Canceled or Faulted state.
Tip
In every overloaded version of Task.WhenAny() when this method returns the first completed task, the other tasks will continue running until completion, even any of them completed in the Canceled or Faulted state. So, if that behavior is not desired you may want to cancel all the remaining tasks once the first task complete.
