Code inspection: Method supports cancellation

This inspection reports a call where another overload of the same method accepts a CancellationToken, and a suitable token is already available in the current scope.

This helps propagate cancellation through an existing async or cooperative-cancellation flow.

Example

                using System.Threading;

                public class Example
                {
                    public void Load() { }
                    public void Load(CancellationToken token) { }

                    public void Run(CancellationToken token)
                    {
                        Load();
                    }
                }
            

                using System.Threading;

                public class Example
                {
                    public void Load() { }
                    public void Load(CancellationToken token) { }

                    public void Run(CancellationToken token)
                    {
                        Load(token);
                    }
                }
            

Quick-fix

Pass an available CancellationToken to the overload that supports cancellation.
