Tasks
Explore how to use Tasks in C# with the Task Parallel Library to run methods asynchronously on thread pool threads. Understand task creation, execution, waiting for completion, and how tasks differ from traditional threads. This lesson helps build responsive and efficient applications by leveraging asynchronous programming.
We'll cover the following...
Introduction
In addition to the ThreadPool class, there’s another way to use a pool’s threads. With the help of the Task Parallel Library (TPL), we can asynchronously execute methods that we want to run in the background. The TPL library is based on the concept of tasks, each of which describes a separate operation. Tasks are represented by the Task class that resides in the System.Threading.Tasks namespace. This class encapsulates a method that executes asynchronously (without blocking the main thread) on a pool’s thread.
We create ...
