An introduction and proof of concept code for the idea of declarative multi threading in C#.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

namespace ThreadBound
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Base class for thread bound objects that want to utilize the WasCanceled() feature of
    /// the framework.
    /// </summary>
    public class ThreadBoundObject :
        ContextBoundObject
    {
        /// <summary>
        /// Checks if the current method was cancled.
        /// </summary>
        /// <remarks>
        /// If the method is executed synchronously WasCanceled will always return false.
        /// </remarks>
        /// <returns>Returns true if Cancel was called on the IAsyncCallState-Interface of an asynchronous call.</returns>
        public bool WasCanceled()
        {
            //-- Here is no threading issue because every thread has its own version
            //   of currentMethod and therefore it is not possible to change the value
            //   from an other thread!
            if (ThreadGlobals.currentMethod != null)
                return ThreadGlobals.currentMethod.WasCanceled();
            else
                return false;
        }
    }
}
