dataflow

About this tag
The dataflow tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions around dataflow programming models and tools, primarily within the Microsoft ecosystem. Topics include TPL Dataflow (TDF) for asynchronous and concurrent programming in .NET, as well as Project Roslyn's APIs for analyzing data and control flow in C# and VB source code. Threads also explore broader applications of dataflow in AI and agentic systems, such as conversational commerce agents and AI governance. The tag reflects a focus on developer-oriented content, including compiler internals, parallel programming primitives, and code-aware tooling, with an emphasis on practical implementation and analysis.

    AI Adoption Without Governance: Visibility Gaps Elevate Security and Compliance Risk

    As organizations race to exploit generative AI and broaden their third‑party ecosystems, a startling pattern is emerging: mass adoption without adequate visibility is creating a cascade of security, compliance, and financial risks that many firms are poorly equipped to handle. New survey data...

    Windows 7 Going Deeper with Project Roslyn: Exposing the C# and VB compiler’s code analysis

    Until now, the VB and C# compilers have been used as black boxes. You put text in, and you get out a binary file. In our long-lead project, codename "Roslyn," we are changing that dynamic by building an API that exposes our compilers' analysis engines. In this session, we'll go in-depth in...

    Windows 7 Stephen Toub: Inside TPL Dataflow

    TPL Dataflow (TDF), System.Threading.Tasks.Dataflow, builds upon the foundational layer for asynchronous and concurrent programming using Tasks provided in TPL in .NET 4. TDF is a complementary set of primitives to those delivered in TPL in .NET 4, addressing additional scenarios beyond those...
