    public Foo()
    {
        this._cts = new CancellationTokenSource();
    }

    public void StartExecution()
    {
        Task.Factory.StartNew(this.OwnCodeCancelableTask, this._cts.Token);
    }

    public void CancelExecution()
    {
        this._cts.Cancel();

    private void OwnCodeCancelableTask(object taskState)
    {
        var token = (CancellationToken) taskState; //Our cancellation token passed from StartNew();

        while ( !token.IsCancellationRequested )
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Do your task work in this loop");
