Debounce implementation with CancellationTokenSource in Blazor server side


I implemented a debounce on input with CancellationTokenSource in Blazor server side app (.net core 3.0).

It works well with input delay as expected, but always writes errors in Debug Output, when typing:

Exception thrown: 'System.InvalidOperationException' in Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.dll

and when fast typing:

Exception thrown: 'System.Threading.Tasks.TaskCanceledException' in System.Private.CoreLib.dll

Do you have any ideas how to fix it?

You can find the implementation here: https://blazorfiddle.com/s/ij9l55ne

Main page:

@page "/"
@using System.Threading
@using System.Threading.Tasks

<MyChildComponent OnTyping="async e => await OnTypingAsync(e)"/>
<div>@result</div>

@code {
    string result;

    public async Task OnTypingAsync(string myText)
    {
        await Task.Delay(1);//call GetDataAsync(myText) method

        result = myText;
        await InvokeAsync(StateHasChanged);
    }
}

Child component:

@using System.Threading
@using System.Threading.Tasks

<input type="text" @oninput="async e => await OnInput(e)" />

@code {
    [Parameter] public EventCallback<string> OnTyping { get; set; }

    CancellationTokenSource Cts = new CancellationTokenSource();
    CancellationToken Ct;

    public async Task OnInput(ChangeEventArgs e)
    {
        Cts.Cancel();
        Cts = new CancellationTokenSource();
        Ct = Cts.Token;

        await Task.Delay(500, Ct).ContinueWith(async task =>
        {
            if (!task.IsCanceled) {
                await OnTyping.InvokeAsync(e.Value.ToString());
            }
        }, Ct);
    }
}
