Question

(This question already has answers here): question from:https://stackoverflow.com/questions/66068947/get-count-of-current-active-tasks-spawned-by-a-multithreaded-application

Answer 1

If you want a thread-safe counter to check the number of active tasks you can use an int _counter field and Interlocked.Increment(ref _counter)/Interlocked.Decrement(ref _counter).

Remember to increment as the first line in a try block decrement in a finally block so that you don't lose any calls to either if an exception is raised.
