Review details
Suppressed comments (1)
xml/ns-System.Threading.Tasks.Dataflow.xml:4
- This is an article link, but namespace documentation consistently uses
<related type="Article" href="...">for article links (for example,xml/ns-System.Threading.Tasks.xml:5). Using<seealso href>is inconsistent with that schema usage and can put the link in the API See Also handling instead of the related-article section.
<seealso href="https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/standard/parallel-programming/dataflow-task-parallel-library">Dataflow (Task Parallel Library)</seealso>
