<title>WaitFor Task</title>
</head>
<body>
<h2>Waitfor</h2>
<h3>Description</h3>
<p>Blocks execution until a set of specified conditions become true. This is intended
to be used with the <a href="parallel.html">parallel</a> task to
synchronize a set of processes.</p>
<p>The conditions to wait for are defined in <a href="waitfor.html#nested">nested elements</a>,
if multiple conditions are specified, then the task will wait until all conditions are true..</p>
<p></p>
<p>If both maxwait and maxwaitunit are not specified, the maxwait is 3 minutes (180000 milliseconds).</p>
<p>If the <code>timeoutproperty</code> attribute has been set, a
property of that name will be created if the condition didn't come
true within the specified time.</p>
