Microsoft rolls out Gmail, Google Drive and Google Calendar integrations to.Microsoft delays Surface Earbuds until Spring 2020.Windows 10 November 2019 Update is seriously small, but Microsoft says not to get used to it.It has shown up on WinRT, WPF, Windows Forms, Windows Phone, MonoDroid, Monogame, and ASP.NET. There are scores of answered questions out there that are all caused by the same deadlock problem. If you do need to maintain a partially-asynchronous code base, then be sure to check out two more of Stephen Toub’s blog posts: Asynchronous Wrappers for Synchronous Methods and Synchronous Wrappers for Asynchronous Methods, as well as my AsyncEx library. Unfortunately, partially-asynchronous code is much more complex and tricky than just making everything asynchronous. Usually this is because people are just trying out async with one small piece of code and use synchronous code everywhere else. This kind of deadlock is always the result of mixing synchronous with asynchronous code. The Async/Await FAQ goes into detail on exactly when contexts are captured and used for continuations.If you prefer videos, Stephen Toub demoed this deadlock live (39:40 - 42:50, but the whole presentation is great!).Stephen Toub’s blog post Await, and UI, and deadlocks! Oh, my! covers this exact type of deadlock (in January of 2011, no less!).


My introduction to async/await is a good starting point.Either one will prevent the deadlock, but both must be applied to achieve maximum performance and responsiveness. Note: It is best to apply both best practices. This changes the blocking behavior of the top-level methods so that the context is never actually blocked all “waits” are “asynchronous waits”.

public static async Task GetJsonAsync ( Uri uri ) A button click will initiate a REST call and display the results in a text box (this sample is for Windows Forms, but the same principles apply to any UI application). I think it’s the most-asked question by async newcomers once they’ve learned the basics. This is a problem that is brought up repeatedly on the forums and Stack Overflow. For a limited time, GitHub will match your support.
