TPL extension and samples library from Microsoft (Parallel Programming)

This is a repost to the Microsoft TPL (task parallel library) samples library at:

https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/ParExtSamples/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=4179

This sample includes example applications and library functionality that demonstrate, utilize, and augment this support (it is not production quality). This sample is a single .zip containing a single Visual Studio .sln file, which then contains multiple Visual Studio projects that highlight key capabilities provided by the .NET Framework 4 and the parallel programming support it provides. Below are descriptions of the included examples.

Specifically, if you are looking for the TPL extensions extras, visit the samples page and search for "ParallelExtensionExtras".

In case this page ever disappears, the samples download can also be downloaded here.
